TL;DR

Norwegian researchers at SINTEF have developed an energy-efficient carbon capture technology called the Continuous Swing Adsorption Reactor (CSAR), which uses a heat pump and a vacuum pump to capture CO2 from industrial flue gases without additional heat. This pilot reactor can capture 100 kilograms of CO2 daily and has shown promising results in industrial-scale testing at a waste management plant in Norway. The technology is particularly effective when powered by renewable electricity and could significantly reduce CO2 emissions in industries like cement and steel manufacturing.
