A typical large tree can suck as much as 40 kilograms of CO2 out of the air over the course of a year. Now scientists at UC Berkeley say they can do the same job with less than half a pound of synthesized powder called COF-999. Tested for 100 cycles,It does not loose efficiency in removing all CO2.
