BattleCap-CO2
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Rising atmospheric CO₂ levels from fossil fuel use and industrial activities are driving global warming, extreme weather events, and ecosystem disruption. Achieving climate neutrality requires not only reducing emissions, but also developing innovative technologies that can capture and transform carbon into valuable resources.
BattleCap-CO2 is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship project dedicated to transforming how we capture and convert carbon dioxide (CO2).
The project introduces a fully integrated electrochemical system that simultaneously captures CO₂ from air or flue gas and converts it into valuable chemicals within a single reactor. By combining advanced bipolar membrane technology with bio-inspired 3D electrode design, BattleCap-CO₂ aims to reduce energy consumption, simplify process design, and accelerate the transition toward climate-neutral technologies.
Hosted by the University of Calabria (Italy) and University of British Columbia (Canada), the project bridges materials science, electrochemistry, and engineering to develop next-generation carbon capture and utilization (CCU) systems aligned with the European Green Deal.
- Innovation in membranes.
- Advanced electrochemical reactor design.
- Toward practical and scalable CO₂ conversion.
