A New Carbon Capture Method Turns CO2 Into Solid Carbon 'In an Instant'

The team claims their method is commercially viable and that it could soon be deployed in aid of global efforts to reduce the ongoing effects of the climate crisis.The new method is based on an existing experimental carbon capture technique "Our new method still harnesses the power of liquid metals but the design has been modified for smoother integration into standard industrial processes," explains Associate Professor Torben Daeneke, a co-lead researcher of the project.

The RMIT team's technique uses liquid metal heated to between 212-248°F . This heated metal is then injected with CO2 to kickstart the required chemical reaction. The CO2 gas bubbles up to the surface of the liquid metal, leaving flakes of solid carbon behind in a reaction that only takes a second.

"It's the extraordinary speed of the chemical reaction we have achieved that makes our technology commercially viable, where so many alternative approaches have struggled," Dr. Ken Chiang, a co-lead researcher, adds.The team of researchers has filed a provisional patent application and RMIT has signed a 2.6 million dollar agreement with environmental tech startup, aimed at commercializing the technology.

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?
