By diving into the science behind capturing carbon dioxide directly from the environment or emission sources, we unpack the foundation of a method that not only helps reduce greenhouse gases but also plays a key role in producing a cleaner form of energy – hydrogen. The CO2 is then separated from the hydrogen before combustion occurs.
