LIVERMORE, Calif. – New and existing coal-fired power plants could more easily capture carbon dioxide emissions with help from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers.
With more than $3.6 million in Recovery Act funding, LLNL researchers, in partnership with the University of Illinois and Babcock & Wilcox, will develop synthetic small-molecule catalysts that greatly speed the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid solvents that enable them to bind CO2 less tightly and reduce the energy required to release the CO2 from the solvent afterward.
