UC Berkeley's Half-Pound Yellow Powder Captures CO₂ Like a Tree, Described as 'Game-Changer'
Oct 23, 2024, 11:51 PM
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a novel yellow crystalline powder that effectively captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. This new covalent organic framework can absorb as much CO₂ as a tree, with just half a pound of the material capable of removing the same annual amount of CO₂ as one tree. A UC Berkeley chemistry professor described this innovation as a 'game-changer' in the field of carbon capture, highlighting its potential impact on addressing climate change.
