Why do we ask this question?
Like a Leaf. Leaves make it look easy, but capturing and using carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air is a challenging process for scientists to mimic. To artificially capture CO2, chemists have developed ways to “scrub” it from air using chemicals that react very favorably with it. But even after it is captured, it’s often difficult to release and use for artificial photosynthesis.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will receive $4.5 million over three years from the DOE for research aimed at capturing carbon dioxide directly from air and converting it to useful products by artificial photosynthesis. “We were thrilled to get the opportunity to do new science and to work on this challenge. It would be enormously satisfying to open up a new, environmentally sound means of generating energy. A major advancement in this area would be the highlight of my career.” — Ksenija Glusac, Argonne chemist, Solar Energy Conversion group, Chemical Sciences and Engineering division CO2 capture involves trapping the gas, transporting it to a storage location and isolating it.
