Project Abstract
In order to address the ongoing global climate crisis, we need to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels by removing CO2 directly from the air using Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. This process is challenging due to the extremely low CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, as low as 0.042%. To effectively capture CO2 at such trace levels, the development of advanced sorbent materials is essential, and this is the primary objective of the ChemiSorb project. This collaborative project between NEG8 Carbon and the University of Limerick aims to develop and optimize solid chemisorbents for efficient Direct Air Capture of CO2.
