CO2 hydrates for gigascale carbon storage, chemical-free solution

gasworld.com

US researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed a technique for rapid CO2 hydrate formation, offering a chemical-free solution for gigascale carbon storage. The method reported a sixfold increase in hydrate formation rate compared to previous methods. Magnesium acts as a catalyst, eliminating the need for chemical promoters. This technology, utilizing seawater, aims to make carbon storage more accessible globally. Researchers are considering commercializing the technology.
