New materials & processes for carbon capture and utilization
- A group of scientists from Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad have designed a hybrid material which can absorb greenhouse gas methane and convert it to clean hydrogen.
- They have simulated a process of capturing carbon dioxide and converted it to high purity hydrogen from non-fuel grade bioethanol.
- These scientists have also designed a facility that can test such materials and help further carbon capture research at the institute.
