Is New Membrane Carbon-Capture Game-Changer?

Newcastle University researchers have reported developing a new ambient-energy-driven membrane that can pump carbon dioxide out of the air. 

A First – Like A ‘Water Wheel On A Flour Mill’ 

As Dr Greg A. Mutch (Royal Academy of Engineering Fellow in the School of Engineering, Newcastle University) explains, his team has demonstrated “the first synthetic membrane capable of capturing carbon dioxide from air and increasing its concentration without a traditional energy input like heat or pressure”.
