Carbon capture technology has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes and power generation. This research project aims to advance our understanding of carbon capture technology and develop new methods for capturing and storing carbon dioxide.

The project will begin by reviewing the current state-of-the-art in carbon capture technology and identifying the major technical and economic challenges facing the field. We will then develop new theoretical models and experimental methods to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of carbon capture technologies, such as absorption, adsorption, and membrane separation. The project will also investigate new materials and processes for storing captured carbon dioxide, such as geological storage and mineralization.

The milestones of this project include developing new theoretical models and experimental methods for carbon capture technology, improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of existing carbon capture technologies, and identifying new materials and processes for storing captured carbon dioxide. We will also evaluate the practicality and scalability of these technologies and assess their potential impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

The potential applications of this research are significant. Carbon capture technology could play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes and power generation. The findings of this project could lead to the development of more efficient and cost-effective carbon capture technologies, making them more attractive to industry and policymakers. The project could also contribute to the development of new policies and regulations to promote the adoption of carbon capture technology and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
