It’s one of the most efficient such design ever described in scientific literature, according to lead researcher <a href="https://me.gatech.edu/faculty/hatzell">Marta Hatzell</a> and her team. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1039/D4EE00048J">They published details April 16 in <em>Energy and Environmental Science</em></a>, a top journal for energy-related research.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://coe.gatech.edu/news/2024/04/new-approach-could-make-reusing-captured-carbon-far-cheaper-less-energy-intensive">Get the full story on the College of Engineering website.</a></strong></p></div> <div> <div> <p>Summary sentence</p> </div> <div>A team led by Marta Hatzell designed a new electrochemical reactor to seamlessly integrate into direct air capture systems and turn CO2 into useful raw materials.</div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Summary</p> </div> <div><p>A team led by Marta Hatzell designed a new electrochemical reactor to seamlessly integrate into direct air capture systems and turn CO2 into useful raw materials.</p></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Dateline</p> </div> <div><time datetime="2024-04-25T12:00:00Z">Thu, 04/25/2024 - 12:00</time> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Email</p> </div> <div>jstewart@gatech.edu</div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Contact</p> </div> <div><p><a href="mailto:jstewart@gatech.edu">Joshua Stewart</a><br> College of Engineering</p></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Associated importer</p> </div> <div>1</div> </div> <picture> <img loading="lazy" src="http://www.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/default_images/placeholder_0.png" width="300" height="300" alt="Georgia Tech"> </picture> <div> <div> <h4>Keywords</h4> </div> <div class="hg-link-container"> <div class="mb-3 float-left"> <a class="hg-link" href="http://www.gatech.edu/news/keywords/direct-air-caputre">direct air caputre</a> </div> <div class="mb-3 float-left"> <a class="hg-link" href="http://www.gatech.edu/news/keywords/marta-hatzell">Marta Hatzell</a> </div> <div class="mb-3 float-left"> <a class="hg-link" href="http://www.gatech.edu/news/keywords/go-researchnews">go-researchnews</a> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <h4>News room topics</h4> </div> <div class="hg-link-container"> <div class="mb-3 float-left"> <a class="hg-link" href="http://www.gatech.edu/news/topic/earth-and-environment">Earth and Environment</a> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Mercury ID</p> </div> <div>674381</div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Source updated</p> </div> <div><time datetime="2024-04-25T10:52:22-04:00">Thu, 04/25/2024 - 10:52</time> </div> </div> Thu, 25 Apr 2024 14:52:47 +0000 admin 32878 at http://www.gatech.edu
