OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Dec. 7 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Magnesium oxide is a promising material for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and injecting it deep underground to limit the effects of climate change. But making the method economical will require discovering the speed at which carbon dioxide is absorbed and how environmental conditions affect the chemical reactions involved.
