CO₂ Capture Breakthroughs: Advanced Materials and Mega-Projects to Pull Carbon from Air and Industry

In 2024 atmospheric CO2 reached about 426 parts per million, roughly 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. UC Berkeley researchers developed a zinc hydride MOF called ZnH-MFU-4_l that can capture CO₂ from hot flue gas at 300°C with over 90% efficiency, enabling potential
