Scientists from the University of Surrey have utilised artificial intelligence (AI) to modify a system that is modeled after an actual coal-fired power station.
Through this advancement, the model has demonstrated the ability to effectively capture an additional 16.7% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, all while reducing energy consumption from the U.K.'s national grid by an impressive 36.3%.
The findings of this research have been published in Reaction & Chemistry Engineering.
