SUMMARY:Can we use electrical energy to reduce carbon emissions? An invest
 igation into the electrochemical approaches for carbon capture - Niamh Har
 tley\, Department of Chemistry
DTSTART:20220217T130000Z

CONTACT:Dr Tamsin Samuels
DESCRIPTION:With carbon emissions still on the rise and the goal of limiti
 ng global temperature increase to 1.5 C become more improbable\; rapid dev
 elopment and deployment of greenhouse gas mitigation techniques are paramo
 unt. Traditional CO2 capture\, i.e. amine scrubbing\, require thermal ener
 gy to release CO2\, limiting widespread use. An alternative approach is to
  use electrical energy to perform the capture-release cycle. This has the 
 potential to achieve a more efficient capture process without the need for
  harsh conditions. In this talk I will give an overview on how electrical 
 energy can be implemented to capture CO2\, areas of research my group is i
 nterested in and how this field will grow in the future.
