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:

To drive market-ready carbon-based materials and energy solutions, we are exploring how certification can boost scalable, trusted solutions and business models. By analyzing international developments and technical pathways, we develop the foundation to understand effective certification systems that link carbon sinks with clean hydrogen production and conversion into synthetic fuels, chemicals and other materials. Aligning regulations and incentives with circular carbon pathways is essential for transitioning to a carbon-negative society.
