Carbon capture system turns CO2 into usable electricity and hydrogen fuel

The video discusses a new carbon capture system that not only absorbs carbon dioxide but also generates usable electricity and hydrogen fuel. This system, known as the hybrid sodium carbon dioxide system, functions like a large liquid battery. It consists of a sodium metal anode in an organic electrolyte and a cathode in an aqueous solution, separated by a sodium super ionic conductor membrane. When carbon dioxide is introduced, it reacts with the cathode, making the solution more acidic, which in turn generates electricity and produces hydrogen.
