This project aims to advance the frontiers for product integration of our unique carbon capture materials leading to a disruptive technology that will reduce the carbon footprint of products and infrastructure. We will focus on developing two major areas:
(1) scalable fabrication of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture modules (CCMs),
(2) integration of CCMs with the façade of underground parking spaces to sequester the accumulated CO2 from vehicle exhaust emissions. To circumvent the dependence on efficient CO2 separators and liquefiers, we seek to create a platform of materials and scalable processing technologies to fabricate CO2 capture membranes in an adaptive and modular design that can be integrated with new or existing products and infrastructure. For example, a CO2 capture module containing our proprietary CO2 absorbing membranes may consist of a serial combination of membranes such that the absorption is maximized without undesirable flow effects (e.g., fouling, pressure buildup) that are often associated with traditional membrane designs.
