<\/a> Scientists have discovered a mechanism to absorb carbon dioxide from the air to <\/strong>later turn it into sodium bicarbonate and store it in oceans<\/strong>, CNN<\/a> reported last week, citing a paper<\/a> published in Science Advances. The team used copper to modify the absorbent material used in direct air capture and the mechanism is three times more efficient than existing absorbents. The process of air capture still remains expensive and inefficient, however, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Sheffield Peter Styring told CNN. Styring also expressed concern over the effects of dumping the sodium bicarbonate in the oceans, questioning the necessity of the new mechanism when much higher concentrations of carbon can be captured from power and industrial stations.<\/p>\n
