Abstract

There is a broad scientific consensus that greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat in the atmosphere. From 1960 to 2022, the atmospheric concentration of CO2, the most abundant anthropogenic GHG, increased from 320 to 420 parts per million by volume. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this increase contributed to the 1.0 °C increase in global temperature relative to the late 19th century average. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) urged a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, relative to 2010 levels, to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. To curb CO2 emissions, the Blue Map Scenario of the International Energy Agency (IEA) recommends different strategies such as switching to renewable energy sources and implementing carbon capture technologies, including CO2 capture from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants and CO2 removal from the atmosphere (i.e., Direct Air Capture; DAC). Cyclic adsorption-desorption of CO2 by amine-functionalized silica materials (known as “aminosilicas”) has attracted tremendous attention from the scientific community and industry alike. In this webinar, Dr. Jahandar Lashaki will provide an overview of the use of aminosilicas for biogas and landfill gas purification to produce grid-quality renewable natural gas, DAC, and air revitalization in enclosed environments.
