Carbon Capture Research & Technology
CCUS is a novel but very important aspects of the energy transition. It is key to support the economic growth while respecting our greenhouse gas emission budgets. Climate Positive Energy has supported various research projects such as direct air capture (DAC), end of pipe carbon capture and the utilization of CO2 to reduce our dependence on petroleum products.
Assessing opportunities in carbon capture and conversion to fuel technologies for empowering Indigenous-led clean energy projects and Northern utilities Uniting deep CO2-to-fuels technological expertise, engagement with Northern Indigenous community-led projects and their leaders, and expertise in environmental politics, resource governance, water, and energy to explore the potential for carbon conversion technologies to support low-carbon energy transitions in the Canadian North.

Developing a carbon capturing combustor-reactor powered by hydrogen generated in-situ from thermally coupled pyrolysis of natural gas Developing a new hydrogen pyrolysis based system with a dual combustor-pyrolytic reactor, based on a new concept combustor fuelled by the existing natural gas network, with very little or no additional energy input. Read More- Developing a Self-decarbonizing Combustor to Reduce CO2 Emissions “Given the urgency to respond to climate change, it is imperative to find swift solutions for mitigating CO2 emissions from fossil fuels used in power and propulsion applications. A potential solution lies in decarbonizing fossil fuels through methane pyrolysis. We aim to conduct a comprehensive analysis of a novel thermo-catalytic reactor to efficiently perform pyrolysis of methane. Thereby, we can… Read More
- Guanidines as a Motif for Carbon Capture and Activation “I am currently a 5th year student in the department of chemistry at the University of Toronto working with Prof. Jik Chin. My research ranges from stereoselective molecular recognition of amino acids to synthesis of unnatural peptide architectures to carbon capture and utilization using guanidines. We are particularly interested in using guanidines as a motif for carbon capture and utilization… Read More
