Interdisciplinary team transforms CO2 into valuable products

Monday, December 4, 2023

An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Waterloo aims to tackle CO2 emissions in the value chain by transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals needed by industry.  

Supported by BMO, the research focuses on the use of green hydrogen to capture CO2 from power plants as well as the iron, steel, and cement industries, and convert it into useful gases via reverse water gas shift reaction. 

Led by chemical engineering professor Dr. Luis Ricardez-Sandoval, the team includes Dr. Aiping Yu and Dr. David Simakov, both professors of chemical engineering, Dr. Pascal Poupart, a professor of computer science, and Dr. Ricardo Fukasawa, a professor of combinatorics and optimization.
