PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Earlier this year, PNNL researchers revealed that using EEMPA in power plants could slash the price of carbon capture to 19% lower than standard industry costs—the lowest documented price of carbon capture. However, most processes rely on high temperatures and are often too expensive for widespread commercial use. Heldebrant, D.,
