Existing and emerging CO₂ capture technologies tend to have a relatively significant energy penalty associated with their implementation (i.e. they required a significant amount of energy to absorb and desorb CO₂). Researchers at The University of Queensland have developed an inexpensive and high performance CO₂  absorbing material that has the potential to reduce this energy by up to 50-75%, significantly reducing the economic burden of adapting CO₂ capture technologies. This technology has the potential to be adopted to capture CO₂  from a wide range of sources including post-combustion CO₂  capture at existing power stations; CO₂  capture from methane gas fields; integrated gasification combined cycle power plants and next generation coal gasification power plants.
