ORNL team improves CO2 absorption with 3D printed device Sustainability

by Environment

A team from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has invented a 3D printed absorption device made from aluminum that is capable of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants. The innovative device, which can also be used in other industrial processes, could help to curb global emissions of greenhouses gases like CO2 which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
