New wood-based material captures, releases CO2 on demand
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering creates a biomaterial that could not only replace plastic but absorb carbon dioxide.
“The beauty of this work is the ability to precisely control the capture and release of CO 2 without high pressure or extreme temperatures,” Hoyong Chung, an associate professor in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering said. “Our testing showed that this material’s structure stayed the same even after being used multiple times, making this a promising tool for mitigating carbon emissions.” Designed to replace environmentally unsound plastic, the latest in their research suggests that this recyclable material could help to “reverse the process” by absorbing carbon dioxide.
