By controlling the fossil fuel combustion process with tiny ceramic tubes, carbon emissions from power stations could be virtually eliminated.
Scientists at Newcastle University carried out research on a material known as LSCF, which possesses the remarkable property of being able to filter oxygen out of the air.
Tubes made of LSCF, which stands for Lanthanum-Strontium-Cobalt-Ferric Oxide, could allow pure oxygen to be delivered to power plants.
By burning fuel in just oxygen, it is possible to produce a stream of almost pure carbon dioxide, which has commercial potential for reprocessing into useful chemicals.
