Carbon capture from point sources and negative emission technologies such as direct air capture and biomass gasification with carbon capture are both required to achieve the net-zero carbon emission targets in 2050.
Point-source carbon capture
The mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes developed in our group can be integrated thermochemically with various energy conversion (e.g., ) and chemical production processes (e.g., ) to facilitate carbon capture.Ìý
Direct air carbon capture
We are developing an open-source distributed direct air carbon capture technology with .
Carbon utilization
The captured CO2 can be effectively converted back into fuels utilizing the oxygen permeable membrane technology (read more onÌý) or high temperature electrolysis with methanationÌý(read our paper onÌý).
