Cornell Center for Carbon Capture and Conversion (C5): New Chemical Pathways for Energy-Efficient Capture of CO2 from Air

Academic Institution: Cornell University

Project Lead(s): Phillip Milner, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Cornell University

Summary: This team will identify new DAC technologies which overcome some of the key limitations of traditional DAC technologies. They will explore and test the potential of four approaches which use novel materials or processes to improve the rate and volume of CO2 capture and release, and to reduce the energy and costs associated with operating DAC systems.

Focus Area(s): Direct Air Capture (DAC), Carbon Capture and Conversion

Funding Cycle: 2022-2023
