Post-combustion carbon dioxide capture: Evolution towards utilization of nanomaterials

Lee, Zhi Hua; Lee, Keat Teong; Bhatia, Subhash; … - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 16 (2012) 5, pp. 2599-2609

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not the gas that gives the most severe global warming impact among the greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, its highest annual emission into the atmosphere makes it the most imperative anthropogenic GHG. This elevated emission is primarily coming from fossil fuel power...
