After 16 attempts, a cheaper method for carbon capture at work in India

At the plant, carbon dioxide is captured from a coal-fired boiler and converted into soda ash, which is used in glass manufacturing, sweeteners and detergents.
The process is projected to save 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year, a world first.
The cost of capture is about $30 per ton - about half the cost of other technologies in the market.
"The next wave of innovation will reduce the cost further, perhaps even by half, to the point where it's almost equivalent to or less than the emissions tax"
