New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

Cap-and-trade was first tried on a significant scale twenty years ago under the first Bush administration as a way to address the problem of airborne sulfur dioxide pollution–widely known as acid rain–from coal-burning power plants in the eastern United States. In 2015–nearly 90% of emissions. Coverage: In 2012–50% of emissions.
