New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants. The researchers are also hoping to develop something that might be tested in a submarine. We got lucky.
