Electrochemical CO2 capture can finally compete with amine-based capture

Electrochemical CO2 capture is promising for closing the carbon cycle but needs technological advances. In a recent issue of Nature Energy, a novel chemistry for electrochemical CO2 capture is presented, demonstrating low energy consumption and high purity with virtually no degradation. This finally allows competition with amine-based capture technology. Electrochemical CO2 capture is promising for closing the carbon cycle but needs technological advances.
