Simple, Low-cost Carbon Filter Removes 90% Of Carbon Dioxide From Smokestack Gases

Monday, May 19, 2008 - 10:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers report development of a low-cost carbon filter that can remove 90 percent of carbon dioxide gas from the smokestacks of electric power plants that burn coal and other fossil fuels. The new technology addresses a pressing need for simple, inexpensive new technologies to remove carbon dioxide from smokestack gases. Coal-burning electric power plants are major sources of the greenhouse gas, and control measures may be required in the future.
