Scientists taps cold temperature, simple sorbents to capture CO2 at one-third of cost

Georgia Tech researchers developed a method to capture CO₂ using cold air from liquefied natural gas and common porous materials. This approach could reduce carbon capture costs to $70 per metric ton, one-third of current costs. The technique uses wasted cold energy from LNG regasification to create ideal conditions for materials to absorb CO₂ efficiently. This breakthrough may enable large-scale carbon removal in coastal areas, potentially capturing over 100 million metric tons of CO₂ annually by 2050.
