New materials could cut parasitic energy costs for CO2 capture by up to 30-40%

Green Car Congress

For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected to reduce the net output of the plant by some 30% and to increase the cost of electricity by 60–80%. In the new study, the zeolite database was examined with a new computer model designed to identify candidates for CO 2 capture. —Lin et al.
