If this works it might stop the demonising of our internal combustion engines

This may have only been tested in the lab with "synthetic flue gas" so my concerns are:
~ the exhaust gas would have to be filtered to prevent blocking of the absorbent (think DPF fitted before the absorbent cartridge) ~the gas stream needs to cooled, as does the exhaust pipe since the absorbent only works between 30-80C - any hotter and it releases the absorbed CO2 ~once the absorbent is saturated/full where is it going to be regenerated to (and how is the CO2 going to be stored) (things like a catalytic converter is always active, DPF filters are re-generated to "burn off" the soot cleaning the filter to begin again) ~how much carbon is it going to take to manufacture, service and dispose of both the absorbent and any additives to make this process work Sorry to be a killjoy but this tech is now in the very low technology readiness levels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level) it may be many years before even demonstrator versions are available.
