But it’s still a laboratory product, and commercial use is a long way off. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in Albuquerque, New Mexico have created CO2Memzyme, an enzyme-based fabric that dissolves CO2 in water 10 million times faster than any other method. Susan Rempe, a research professor in biological engineering at SNL said if applied to a "single coal-fired power plant" it would be the same as planting 63 million trees "and letting them grow for 10 years. It is not going to solve climate change, but it's certainly one of the most promising things we can do right now." However, CO2Memzyme is still being tested and is not ready for commercial use.
