The carbon capturetechnology developed at Newcastle University aims to help India fulfill its climate change commitment to the United Nations. Professor Ajayan Vinu, director of the University’s Global Center for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN), said the technology could significantly reduce carbon emissions. According tothe United Nations, India is the third highest carbon dioxide emitter, accounting for 6.9% of the world’s emissions. India is committed to reducing GDP emission intensity from 2005 levels by 33-35% by 2030. Unlike Australia, India has ratified the Paris Agreement (International Convention on ClimateChange).
This study is partially funded by the Government of India’s research arm, theInstitute for Defense Biotechnology and Electrical Medicine (DEBEL).
Professor Vinu’s technology differs from the controversial “carbon capture and storage,” in which carbon emissions are expected to be stored underground. His technique is “carbon recovery and conversion”. This includes converting carbon dioxide into “value-added products” such as “clean fuels and fine chemicals.” “It can be used in any plant that emits carbon dioxide, such as power plants, cement factories, steel factories,” he said. “If we develop this technology, it can be installed in coal-fired power plants throughout India and in other parts of the world, including Australia.” Partially funded by DEBEL. Professor Vinu said carbon capture on a commercial scale has never been done due to the lack of technology to capture and adsorb large amounts of carbon emissions. He has this technology developed in partnership with Andromeda Metals, Minotaur Exploration, and their co-research and development company Natural Nanotech. These companies recently donated $ 4 million to Professor Vinu’s research center to facilitate research in this area. The adsorbent used is “carbon nanomaterial derived from halloysite”. This includes the use of a nanotechnology called “nanoporous carbon nitride” discovered by Professor Vinu. Large amounts of halloysite kaolin clay are available on Lake Camel, South Australia. Professor Vinu’s team can convert this “low-cost, naturally available nanostructured clay material into high-value nanotube-shaped carbon or other nanohybrid”. Andromeda Metals, who mine the clay, told the Australian Stock Exchange that these nanomaterials “show excellent adsorption and recyclability for the purpose of carbon capture and conversion.” “Many specific research grant applications are underway to provide additional funding to accelerate activities in key areas,” the statement said. “Planned carbon. It included additional funding to “accelerate recovery and conversion pilot plants. According to the company’s statement, Professor Vinu’s team achieved “outstanding results. “These results are significantly better than current commercial products. Optimizing adsorption and recycling potential is considered important for the commercialization of this technology.”
This breakthroughtechnology derived from Australian resources, including halloysite nanotubesand other resources, is an advanced manufacturing technology. “It can providegreat opportunities for clean gas and energy resources, “he said. The factorywill be set up at Newcastle University. “This provides training opportunitiesfor research students and early career researchers and helps them work closelywith industry partners, which creates employment opportunities, especially foryoung talent from rural Australia. The Center will not only purify carbondioxide from the atmosphere, but will also address environmental issues such asthe production and storage of clean energy hydrogen. We are working on severalrelated technologies.”

ProfessorVinu said the technology was developed in Australia and “addresses the prioritygoal of developing a future supply of reliable, low-cost, low-emission energy.”
“This breakthrough technology from Australian resources, includinghalloysite nanotubes and other resources, can provide tremendous opportunitiesfor advanced manufacturing, clean gas and energy resources.”
“The pilot carbon capture plant will be installed at NewcastleUniversity.
“It helps to provide training opportunities for researchstudents and early career researchers and to work closely with industrypartners.
“This will also provide employment opportunities, especially foryoung talent from rural Australia.”
Professor Vinu started GICAN with the vision of “contributing toAustralia’s mission to solve global environmental problems and generate cleanenergy.”
In addition to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, GICANis working on several technologies related to environmental issues, such as theproduction and storage of clean energy hydrogen.
