In this prototype carbon capture apparatus, a solution of potassium hydroxide is wicked up into polypropylene fibres; circulating air evaporates the water in the solution, concentrating it to very high levels. The white crystals are nearly pure potassium carbonate, formed from carbon removed directly from air. (photo by Dongha Kim)

New ‘rock candy’ technique offers a simpler, less costly way to capture carbon directly from air

Phil De Luna (MSE PhD candidate) is first author on an analysis of how researchers could capture and recycle the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. "If we continue to work at this, it’s a matter of time before we have power plants where CO2 is emitted, captured, and converted,” says De Luna. (Credit: Tyler Irving)
