Oil Economy Focus Rapid Review
Researchers have used liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) back into solid coal with technology they say has the potential to revolutionize carbon capture and storage and provide a new way for removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The international team led by RMIT University in Australia developed a liquid-metal electro catalyst that transforms gaseous carbon dioxide directly into carbon-containing solids at room temperature. More work still needs to be done, but the early results are seen as “a crucial first step to delivering solid storage of carbon”.
