Heriot-Watt University scientists discovered a porous material to store CO2 and SF6 for climate challenges.

Scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh discovered a porous material that can store carbon dioxide and sulphur hexafluoride, a more potent greenhouse gas. The team created hollow, cage-like molecules with high storage capacities for these gases. Dr. Marc Little, who co-led the research, said the discovery is exciting because new porous materials are essential to tackle climate challenges like direct air capture of CO2.
