The powder, known as COF 999, has the potential to capture carbon dioxide faster and more efficiently than a tree.

Just half a pound of this powder can do the work of a large tree over the course of a year.

Not only does it trap CO2 in its tiny pores, but it does so 10 times faster than anything seen before.

The powder, a combination of two hydrophobic molecular structures can be reused hundreds, possibly even thousands of times without breaking down.

Currently producing the material on a massive scale has the potential to expel more carbon than it can capture.
