UD team devises CO2 direct air capture device powered by hydrogen for HEMFCs

Green Car Congress

University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated an effective way to capture 99% of carbon dioxide from the ambient air feed to an hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. Source: University of Delaware. The approach involved internally short-circuiting the device.
