Development of Solid Absorbents for the Capture of Greenhouse Gasses
Problem Statement:  Emissions from stationary power plants account for about one third of US greenhouse gas emissions.

Description:  This project has developed novel solid absorbents with a high capacity for CO2 gas capture.  These absorbents have used high molecular weight amine mixtures impregnated into non-ionic polymeric supports to achieve their high capture efficiency.
