Revolutionary Carbon Storage Method Developed by UT Austin Researchers

New technology converts CO2 into stable ocean hydrates six times faster without harmful chemicals.

The method accelerates the formation of carbon dioxide hydrates, which can be stored in the ocean.
This process is chemical-free, avoiding the environmental downsides of current carbon capture methods.
Magnesium acts as a catalyst in the new technique, enhancing the hydrate formation rate.
The technology is compatible with seawater, making it globally accessible for countries with coastlines.
Potential applications extend beyond carbon storage to desalination, gas separation, and gas storage.
