Previous approaches to this have suffered from the fact that they require too much energy. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, Australian scientists have now introduced a new metal\u2013organic framework compound that absorbs CO<sub>2<\/sub> and then releases it upon exposure to sunlight.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Current techniques for the removal of CO<sub>2<\/sub> from coal power plant exhausts by using liquid amines consume vast amounts of energy &#8211; sometimes up to 30 % of the energy produced by the plant. Most of the energy consumed in these processes is used to release the CO<sub>2<\/sub> from the absorbent by raising the temperature or applying a vacuum.<\/p>\n<p>A team headed by Richelle Lyndon and Matthew R. Hill is focusing on the use of concentrated sunlight as an alternative energy source for the release of CO<sub>2<\/sub>. The Australian researchers hope to achieve this by using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to absorb the CO<sub>2<\/sub>. <\/p>\n<p><i>&#8230; Full text: <a href=\"http:\/\/eu.wiley.com\/WileyCDA\/PressRelease\/pressReleaseId-107640.html?cid=RSS_PRESSROOM2_PRESS_RELEASE\" >eu.wiley.com\/WileyCDA\/PressRelease\/pressReleaseId-107640.html?cid=RSS_PRESSROOM2_PRESS_RELEASE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tags: metal\u2013organic frameworks, MOF, crystals, UV light, exhaust gases, sunlight<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b> In order to reduce the carbon dioxide output from coal power plants, CO<sub>2<\/sub> could be removed from their exhaust (post-combustion capture) and stored or,<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572,5571],"tags":[],"supplier":[1071,4483],"class_list":["post-16303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","category-co2-based","supplier-commonwealth-scientific-and-industrial-research-organisation","supplier-monash-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16303\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16303"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=16303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
