We are aiming towards a future where carbon dioxide is sustainably captured and converted into commodity chemicals or value-added products. The EPSRC funded project has now been operational for three years and would like to share the results of its work directly with the wider community.
The project has three major research themes, each led by a senior academic:
1. Capturing carbon dioxide from air or industrial sources
2. 鈥楢ctivation鈥� of the relatively unreactive carbon dioxide molecule to enable its transformation into chemically-active intermediates before processing to final products
3. Thermodynamic modelling and sustainability analyses to examine the overall process viability.
