Project Objectives

The objective of the project is to advance the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ from a laboratory scale to a pre-industrial demonstration in order to provide an alternative for conventional raw material production.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

  1. Enable permanent CO₂ sequestration in materials, such as incorporating CO₂-derived formate salts into concrete.
  2. Generate Canadian owned IP on CO₂ conversion systems and processes.
  3. Share findings through high-impact journals and cleantech conferences.
  4. Engage with Canadian and International standards bodies.
