Lignin-derived carbon materials for a sustainable CO2 economy - npj Materials Sustainability

Lignin-derived carbon materials offer a sustainable path for capturing atmospheric CO2. Industrial growth and fossil fuel use have increased emissions, making carbon capture vital. Researchers said lignin is a promising carbon precursor because it is cheap and stable. These materials could help solve current problems with moisture and high costs.
