The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. The process takes flue gas from power plants, uses a PNNL-patented solvent to strip out CO 2 , then converts the CO 2 into methanol. The catalysts commonly used for gas-phase CO 2 hydrogenation (e.g.,
