Carbon capture technology to produce clean fuel from air

Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed the Dual-Function Material (DFM) process, a new carbon capture technology combining capture and conversion. This method potentially offers a more cost-effective way to remove CO2 from the air and convert it into clean, synthetic fuel. It can remove carbon at $740 per tonne, with potential to drop below $400 as materials improve. The technology could help decarbonize industries like steel manufacturing and contribute to achieving global Net Zero targets.
