University of Texas researchers develop rapid carbon dioxide hydrate formation technology for carbon storage, potentially boosting climate change efforts.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new carbon storage technology that rapidly forms carbon dioxide hydrates, a potentially universal solution for carbon storage. The technology, which eliminates harmful chemical accelerants, can bury CO2 in the ocean and prevent its re-entry into the atmosphere. This method outpaces current carbon storage techniques and could significantly boost efforts to combat climate change by removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
