Matthew Feller Interview: LuSyl Carbon Capture
While renewable energy will avoid CO2 emissions, there is still a strong interest to develop carbon sequestration for coal-fired plants in the US. To date, I don't know of a successful utility scale implementation of carbon capture, but there have been interesting developments recently in this field.
In late 2007, Skyonic's introduced a method to convert CO2 into solid baking soda or NaHCO3. Using sodium hydroxide or NaOH, CO2 coming out of a plant is converted into soda, which can be stored indefinitely.
Besides NaOH, other compounds are being explored. Dr. Matthew Feller explains how his company is pursuing carbon capture using an Aluminum derivative.
