Capturing and Storing Carbon Dioxide in One Simple Step

Speeding up a natural weathering process could be a practical way to capture and store carbon dioxide from power plants.

The process—which uses seawater and crushed limestone to capture carbon dioxide—would be simpler than conventional carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and potentially cheaper and more practical. The researchers have demonstrated the idea in laboratory tests, but not yet at an actual power plant.
