York University

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to develop a novel photochemical and electrochemical capture and amine regeneration system as an alternative to traditional temperature and pressure swing processes.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

1. Train 17 high-quality skilled personnel in CO₂ capture technology development.
2. Develop a photoelectrochemical-mediated CO₂ capture system that reduces land, water, and heat requirements, easing deployment and minimizing large-scale CCUS impacts.
3. Lower CO₂ capture costs and energy requirements while eliminating the need for steam regeneration.
4. Enable patenting, academic publication, and conference presentations for knowledge sharing.
