Using Seaweed to Create Biocoal: An Innovative Way to Capture Carbon Dioxide
In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the University of Southern California have discovered a way to capture carbon dioxide emissions using seaweed and transform them into ‘biocoal’. This biocoal is designed to replace traditional coal, and has the potential to drastically reduce carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. The process involves extracting carbon dioxide from seawater, converting it into a solid state, and then using it to create a biocoal that can be used to generate energy. The study shows that the biocoal can store the captured carbon dioxide for hundreds of years, and can be used to help reduce global warming. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we source energy, and could be a game changer in the fight against climate change.
