"Removing CO2 from the Atmosphere: A Role for Computational Geochemistry"
Removal of CO2 from power plant effluents and from the atmosphere is critically necessary to reduce global climate change. Pilot scale test programs are presently underway to remove CO2 from power plants using conventional aqueous amine capture techniques. The CO2 is then to be liquefied and pumped into geological formations. While straightforward in principle, this approach is very expensive and may encounter political and legal obstacles. I am using the techniques of computational geochemistry to explore other possible approaches to the removal of CO2. I will discuss directly storing CO2 in the form of oliogmeric H2CO3 and the design of macrocyclic absorber molecules, which can remove CO2 from ambient air.
