Example Sentences

In testing, the system outperformed existing electrode technologies when exposed to simulated flue gas and when operating at CO2 levels similar to those found in the atmosphere.

From Science Daily

Their goal was to create a device capable of handling flue gas as it is actually produced and converting even small amounts of captured CO2 into a valuable product.

From Science Daily

The advantage became even clearer when researchers used a simulated flue gas containing 15% CO2, 8% oxygen gas, and 77% nitrogen gas.

From Science Daily

While renewable energy sources are already reducing the need for CO2-emitting, fossil fuel-burning power plants, industrial plants that make intense use of fossil fuels are harder to make sustainable, so flue gas capture is essential.

From Science Daily

"Our novel technique demonstrates a potential pathway for the development of efficient electrolysers for the direct conversion of CO2 in flue gas, using simple yet effective electrolyte and catalyst design strategies to advance integrated sustainability solutions," added Asst Prof Lum.
