Due to the rapid increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the past century, a number of technologies have been developed to reduce CO2 emissions from point sources. The most mature technology is amine scrubbing, which employs amine molecules to capture CO2 at a high concentration. Limitations of this technology include low CO2 capacities, parasitic sidereactions and large regeneration energies. Amine scrubbing utilizes a temperature-swing process and requires high temperatures to release CO2 and regenerate the amines.
