Startup Shows Seawater Can Lock Away Low-Purity CO2
Brooklyn-based Vycarb has demonstrated a method to store low-purity CO2 in seawater, converting it to stable bicarbonate. In tests, the system incorporated 99% of CO2 gas into water even when the CO2 purity was only 50%, with 85% converted to bicarbonate. The company aims to validate the process at 10% purity, potentially eliminating the need for CO2 purification in carbon capture.
