Researchers from UC-Berkley and ExxonMobil have carried out experiments which “showed a six times greater capacity from removing CO2 from flue gas than current anime-based technology, capturing more than 90% of the CO2 emitted,” Gas World reports.

The technique “uses a highly porous material called a metal-organic framework (MOF), modified with nitrogen-containing amine molecules to capture the CO2 and low temperature steam to flush out the CO2 for other uses or to sequester it underground.”
