“Ultimately, physical carbon capture units on campus can demonstrate to other students that carbon capture is not just some theoretical solution to climate change–it has real potential to make a difference.” This first newsletter issue of 2023 features the incoming president of the Global CO2 Initiative Student Association (GCISA), Kendra Hagey. Kendra is a junior in Chemical Engineering with a…
Curated in partnership with Global CO2 Initiative Director, Dr. Volker Sick, the CCUS Transformation Map is now live on the World Economic Forum’s Strategic Intelligence site. Legacy carbon dioxide emissions must be removed as a new, net-zero-carbon economy is being built. CO2 capture, utilization, and storage have the potential to both contribute to gigatonne-scale removal,…
Carbon materials pervade many aspects of modern life, from fuels and building materials to consumer goods and commodity chemicals. Reaching net-zero emissions will require replacing existing fossil-carbon-based systems with circular-carbon economies that transform wastes like carbon dioxide into useful materials. A new National Academies’ report, Carbon Dioxide Utilization Markets and Infrastructure: Status and Opportunities, evaluates market opportunities…
“There are always obstacles, but I just keep going.
