Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have created a new system—the least costly to date—that efficiently captures CO 2 and converts it into methanol. The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. The process takes flue gas from power plants, uses a PNNL-patented solvent to strip out CO 2 , then converts the CO 2 into methanol.
