In Pursuit of Capturing CO2 a US Department of Energy Lab May Have a Novel Inexpensive Solution

The current commercial forms of carbon capture for sequestration or upcycling remain very expensive and as a result, companies are hesitant to add these technologies to existing operations without government assistance. But a novel technology using lab-developed solvents can bring the cost down to as little as $38 per ton which is cheaper than forest management sequestration projects at $40 per ton.
