Identification number: OSI_PIP_BioPhoT-2025/1-0071
Type: National Research Program - BioPhoT project
Duration: 001.10.2025. - 30.09.2026.
Project manager: Ph.D. Ainārs Knoks, Institute of Solid State Physcis, University of Latvia (ISSP UL)
ISSP UL funding: 200 000 EUR
Project description:
The project aims to develop CO2 capture technology using waste aluminium and water reaction producing solid carbonate for easy and cheap transportation, as a reaction byproduct hydrogen and heat are released, which can be utilized locally. Technology aims to solve small to medium CO2 emitter problem of increasing carbon tax by providing alternative capturing technology with added value of increase in waste recycling, energy production and decentralization.
