Water vapor emerging from cooling towers at an industrial plant. Water is used to cool exhaust gases to a temperature at which carbon capture is possible with aqueous amines. A new UC Berkeley material can capture carbon dioxide at the high temperatures common of various industrial exhausts, avoiding the need to expend energy and water to cool the emissions for decarbonization.
