The Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage Centre, one of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI)’S Low-Carbon Energy Centres, has awarded $900,000 to two research projects aiming to advance technologies that avoid carbon emissions entering the atmosphere.
Led by Principal Investigator Asegun Henry and Co-Principal Investigator Paul Barton, the winning project is aiming to produce hydrogen without CO2 emissions while creating a second revenue stream of solid carbon.
“Hydrogen is essential to modern life, as it is primarily used to make ammonia for fertilizer, which plays an indispensable role in feeding the world’s 7.5 billion people,” says Henry.
“But we need to be able to feed a growing population and take advantage of hydrogen’s potential as a carbon-free fuel source by eliminating CO2 emissions from hydrogen production.”
