This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Program award of $275,000 will support Rushnu Inc.'s project to develop a commercially viable, continuous-flow system for carbon capture and mineralization. The goal is to enable cost-effective capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from emission sources and transform it into value-added products, thereby helping the industrial sector achieve net-zero CO2 emissions. The project will adapt a single-step carbon capture and mineralization process, integrated with a thermocatalytic system for solvent recovery, to increase capture rates and optimize post-mineralization solvent recovery. This will advance an existing thermochemical process with promising results to create a scalable, commercially viable technology for industries seeking economically viable decarbonization solutions. The award is funded from September 2024 through August 2025.
