University of Minnesota researchers have developed a new energy technology that removes carbon dioxide from the air while generating electricity.
Energy firm Heat Mining Company recently bought the rights to the system, called Carbon Dioxide Plume Geothermal technology or CPG.
The new technology is about twice as efficient as traditional methods of generating geothermal electricity, said Martin Saar, the lead researcher on the project and an associate professor in the department of earth sciences,
