GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at George Washington University led by Prof. In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. Furthermore, the removed CO 2 is permanently stored, unlike, other methods like the production of fuels or seltzer water that re-release CO2 when the product is used. Licht et al.

The energy/climate debate of rent years has been dominated by the idea that the price of fossil fuels must be raised to reflect the full cost of their use. Current difficulties in Washington only add to the case for regionalization. Innovation should become that focus. Innovation doesn’t just emerge out of thin air.
