Developed by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin, the carbon storage technology works through the ultrafast formation of carbon dioxide hydrates<\/a>.<\/p>\n These unique ice-like materials can bury carbon dioxide in the ocean, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere. \u200b<\/p>\n Vaibhav Bahadur, a professor in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering who led the research, explained: \u201cHydrates offer a universal solution for carbon storage. For them to be a major piece of the carbon storage pie, we need the technology to grow them rapidly and at scale.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve shown that we can quickly grow hydrates without using any chemicals that offset the environmental benefits of carbon capture.\u201d<\/p>\nIssues with widely used storage technologies<\/h3>\n
