In the CCUMP project, NCEL is collaborating with the Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Materials Engineering and the Department of Chemistry, KNUST to valorise locally available feedstock to develop advanced sustainable materials for carbon capture and utilisation.
The overall goal of the project is to design, produce and deploy specialised materials for CO2 removal. Successful implementation of the project will prepare the country towards eventual deployment of large-scale carbon removal technologies such as Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC), reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission at scale and achieve UN SDG Goal 13. The CCUMP project will use an interdisciplinary research team with accomplished expertise in advanced material development and characterization, GHG emission assessment and mitigation technology to develop state-of-the-art materials locally for CCUS and DAC application using a machine learning-based optimization process. The project is expected to run for a period of six (6) years where four MPhil and two PhD research projects will be funded in the College of Engineering, KNUST, to achieve the objectives. NCEL is open to partnerships and collaborations from industry partners to fund the CCUMP project.
