Two-step CO2 Capture and Storage Technology using Seawater and Mineral Carbonation of Mine Water Pool of Sydney Coalfields
September 2023 – September 2024
The goal of this project is to develop a point-source carbon capture and storage technology that: 1) uses a capture medium constituted from seawater; and 2) employs a technique that permanently sequesters the captured carbon as metal carbonates using the contaminated water of flooded former mines

Design and Construction of an On-Demand, Submerged Combustion, Direct-Contact Water Heater operating on Hydrogen for use in the Agricultural Sector
September 2023 – September 2024
Transitioning to a green hydrogen economy requires end-use applications. Some water heating units that currently operate on propane or natural gas may be able to safely operate on hydrogen-enriched natural gas mixtures (HENG) with up to 20–30% hydrogen with no modification.

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.

Empowering Sustainable Livestock Practices: Advanced Sensors for GHG Monitoring
September 2023 – September 2024
Livestock industry accounts for approximately 14.5% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The primary sources of GHG emissions from ruminant animals are enteric fermentation and manure disposal, which are inherent and essential parts of the animal food cycle.
