Mining the Atmosphere

CertH2&CO2 Project

I am excited that our proposal was funded and I will start as the PI of the CertH2&CO2 project. The project is associated with the Mining the Atmosphere initiative for removal of excess (man-made) CO2 from the atmosphere, and in collaboration with the reFuel.ch project investigating robust supply paths for sustainable fuels and base chemicals.

Project scope:

Carbon sinks through the combination of capturing Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and storing it in the built environment represents an opportunity for new carbon-based business models by linking this with the production of carbon-based energy carriers such as green hydrogen (H2). This proposal intends to create a solid foundation on the state of the art, most promising technical pathways, and key research topics related to both CO2 and H2 certificates. The hope is that this initiative can contribute to the understanding of the importance, interaction, and effective implementation of both H2 and CO2 certificates, helping to facilitate and scale such carbon-based business models.
