Hannah Sayre, a BioLEC Postdoctoral Researcher in the Scholes Lab at Princeton University, wrote an article in the Winter 2019 Frontiers in Energy Research Newsletter entitled “New Developments on the Carbon Capture Frontier”.
Several EFRCs are currently investigating creative solutions to lower carbon dioxide emissions, including problems of carbon sequestration, carbon recycling, and the use of carbon in hydraulic fracturing. Read more: https://www.energyfrontier.us/content/new-developments-carbon-capture-frontier
