Scientists store CO2 in chalk (with green hydrogen as a by-product)
Australian scientists have found a way to store carbon with renewable energy. Using an electrochemical process, the researchers can store CO2 in water, after which they solidify it into chalk using solar and wind energy. In addition, the process produces useful residual products such as green hydrogen.
