An Indian company has been making big claims that it has found a way to capture and turn carbon dioxide from a coal-based boiler into baking powder.
The procedure is to take place at a chemical plant in the city of Tuticorin in association with a firm based in India, Carbon Clean Solutions, and are claiming to save roughly 66,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
The plant Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals owner Ramachadran Gopalan told foreign media, I am a businessman. I never thought about saving the planet. I need a reliable stream of CO2 and this was the best way of getting it.
Currently the operation Carbon Clean is being run by two young Indian chemists, using their technique where using salt to bond with CO2 molecules through flue gases in the boiler chimney.
The process of carbon capturing is new in the sense that it uses a new chemical to strip CO2, which has proven to be more efficient than current procedures and is said to capture more than 90 percent of the CO2.
The soda ash produced has a range of uses, which include glass manufacture, sweeteners, detergents, and paper products, according to various media outlet(s). The plant supposedly has almost zero emissions now since utilizing the technique.
