[Terrapreta] BASF's CO2 Scrubbing ZIF

[Greg and April]

Interesting.

2 questions.


How much CO2 is produced to make them vs. how much CO2 will they hold?

Can the CO2 be recovered for use elsewhere?

Personally, I think the work going on over at Sandia National Labs is going to be more profitable in comparison.

  BASF's CO2 Scrubbing ZIF........also can be modified for other gases. This may facilitate Biofuel gas separation, I haven't seen any cost estimates yet.

   Selectively removing carbon dioxide from waste streams
  A breakthrough by a team of scientists in the US has overcome the challenge of selectively removing carbon dioxide from waste gases. It all relies on a new class of porous materials called ZIFs
