    So reading through they think it can be used to eventually make huge filters they can use for coal plants and stuff like that.

    If true this could be like whatever it was they found in Project Hail Mary that ends up saving the human race.

      I sure hope so. I work in electricity generation (not coal) and I see this being potentially massive for all fuel types. Depending on if/how it can be scaled. Combined cycle was huge for emissions reduction. But this could be a completely new level if we can reduce to zero/near zero and have a useful byproduct.
