Korean researchers develop system that produces hydrogen and electricity by eliminating carbon dioxide.
Researchers at the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), have developed a system that produces electricity and hydrogen (H2) while eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the main contributor of global warming.
A research team, led by Professor Kim Kun-tae of the Energy and Chemical Engineering Department, have developed the ’Hybrid Na-CO2 System.’ The system is a cell system that dissolves CO2 in water and produces electricity and H2.
Most of the CO2 that humans emit is absorbed into the sea and turns seawater into acidity. The researchers focused on this phenomenon and came up with the idea of melting CO2 into water to induce an electrochemical reaction.
