Green ammonia derived membranes & sorbents for direct air capture of carbon dioxide

September 2023 – September 2024

Carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming is an existential threat, prompting efforts to reduce net emissions of this greenhouse gas (GHG) to zero. But as CO2 levels are already dangerously high, removal of CO2 remains necessary even once the net-zero target is achieved.
