Screening new amines and adsorbents for CO2 capture with coding for mathematical modeling.

Carbon dioxide is considered one of the main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The gas causes huge environmental and social negative impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce gas emissions to benefit the communities and societies. The project focuses on CO2 capture by amine solutions and solid materials. Besides the laboratory measurements, the work continues to optimize the entire capture process to lower the costs. As a result, the CO2 capture projects become more visible to investors. By lowering the CO2 emissions, the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere could be further reduced. The global warming effects could be mitigated by reducing the emissions. Furthermore, the studies can provide the technologies for other companies such as oil sand corporations to reach the net zero by the federal regulations.
