Using artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from the University of Surrey adjusted a system based on a real coal-fired power station. The model could capture 16.7% more carbon dioxide (CO2) while using 36.3% less energy from the U.K.'s national grid. The research is published in the journal Reaction & Chemistry Engineering.

Professor Jin Xuan, chair of sustainable processes at the University of Surrey's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, said, "Usually, carbon capture systems run constantly, at the same rate—regardless of the externally changing environment. But we showed that teaching the system to keep making small adaptations can produce big energy savings—and capture more carbon at the same time."
