OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Sept. 28 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Using light instead of heat, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a new way to release carbon dioxide, or CO2, from a solvent used in direct air capture, or DAC, to trap this greenhouse gas. The novel approach paves the way for economically viable separation of CO2 from the atmosphere.
