Summary
Windmills and solar panels are proliferating fast, but not fast enough to stave off the worst of climate change. Doing so, U.N. climate experts say, will also require capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the tens of thousands of fossil fuel power plants and industrial smokestacks likely to keep belching for years to come. Today's most popular approach, which uses chemicals called amines dissolved in water to for capture CO2, is too expensive for widespread use. But researchers are now developing a new generation of chemical CO2 traps, including an organic solvent, which was shown this month to reduce the cost by nearly 20%. When existing U.S. tax credits are added to the mix, carbon capture is nearing commercial viability.
