CCUS or carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration will be a crucial weapon in the fight against global climate change. For the uninitiated, CCS technology takes carbon emissions (CO2) and converts it into useful environmentally safe materials.
The Global CCS Institute believes that CCUS will be a “pivotal climate change technology.” In the institute has pointed towards CCUS as one of the most effective options available to reduce emissions and meet international climate change targets.
Recently, researchers have built on previous CCUS research to develop a system that produces electricity and hydrogen while simultaneously eliminating the environmentally damaging carbon dioxide.
The electric breakthrough came together under the guidance of Professor Guntae Kim in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST in collaboration with Professor Jaephil Cho in the Department of Energy Engineering and Professor Meilin Liu in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.
