Climate Change Initiative Seminar Series: Renewably-Powered CO2 Recycling

Michael Ross, assistant professor in the chemistry department at UMass Lowell will speak on developing novel strategies for using CO2 and synthesizing fuels and chemicals without fossil fuels is critical for further decoupling emissions from growth. This seminar surveys recent work focused on electrochemical CO2 recycling, where renewable electricity can power chemical processes that upgrade or valorize CO2 into feedstocks, fuels, and chemicals. Both the technical and economic impacts of this approach will be discussed, highlighting recent efforts and strategies focused on catalyst and process design.
