Our research group is manufacturing groundbreaking systems to convert air-captured carbon dioxide (CO2)into useful products. Rising CO2 levels are one of the major causes of climate change, and a significantreduction in carbon emissions is crucial to avoiding major economic and environmental catastrophe. CarbonEngineering (Squamish, BC) is commercializing systems to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere on amulti-tonne scale. We will evaluate the feasibility of propagating a carbon value chain through electrocatalyticreduction of CO2 into fuel and material precursors with great economic value. Technology resulting from thiscollaboration has the potential for deep penetration into the $1 trillion-dollar market that is CO2 utilization,positioning both CE and Canada as global leaders in transformative clean technology. This project enables usto fully understand the technical challenges of CO2 capture-conversion integration, and develop our technologyaccordingly.

我们的研究小组正在制造突破性的系统，将空气捕获的二氧化碳（CO2）转化为有用的产品。二氧化碳水平上升是气候变化的主要原因之一，而大幅减少碳排放对于避免重大经济和环境灾难至关重要。碳工程公司（斯夸米什米什，不列颠哥伦比亚省）正在商业化系统，以消除二氧化碳直接从大气中的多吨规模。我们将评估通过将CO2电催化还原为具有巨大经济价值的燃料和材料前体来传播碳价值链的可行性。这项合作产生的技术有可能深入渗透到1万亿美元的二氧化碳利用市场，使CE和加拿大成为变革性清洁技术的全球领导者。该项目使我们能够充分了解CO2捕获-转化一体化的技术挑战，并相应地开发我们的技术。
