Identifying and addressing bottlenecks in the capture and conversion of CO2 to liquid fuels

Climate change continues to exacerbate around the world. Capturing greenhouse gases like CO2 directly from air is becoming more and more important to reduce the magnitude of severe climate change. Efficient conversion of the captured CO2 into liquid fuels such as methanol has the potential to revolutionize green energy technologies and displace fossil fuels. Leveraging the interdisciplinary capabilities at Dr. Khan’s lab at SFU and Dr. Marshall’s lab at University of Canterbury, this project aims to standardize a continuous flow electrochemical system to capture and convert CO2 directly from air.
