PNNL team develops least costly to date carbon capture system with conversion to methanol

Green Car Congress

The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. This is the first known demonstration of integrated low-temperature thermocatalytic capture and conversion of CO 2 to methanol in an economically viable CO 2 capture solvent. —Kothandaraman et al.
