Boost for carbon capture from new non-toxic absorber

Reuters: Researchers have created a new material that could solve some of the problems holding back projects to combat global warming by capturing and burying carbon emitted from power stations. The material, made from aluminum nitrate salt, cheap organic materials and water, is non-toxic and requires less energy to strip out the carbon when it becomes saturated, the scientists said. Carbon capture has not yet been proven on a commercial scale and pilot projects have been hindered by concerns that the...
