Better Carbon Sequestration With AI

Cars That Think

How and where can carbon dioxide be meaningfully captured, and how can it be stored, and where? And this is actually where now you have to spend most of your energy because now you have to reheat this mixture to separate the CO 2 and get a very high content CO 2 stream out that you can then store, and then you can reuse the amine.
