The chemical material that does the work of absorbing CO2 is called sorbent. For our first build in Philadelphia we used a zeolite-based variety, because it was cheap and available. But it didn‘t perform well, and absorbed more H2O than CO2. So we are seeking alternatives. And in the longterm we see Epiphyte as a platform for test ing and deploying novel sorbents.
