A test facility for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into solid carbon is being built at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
The facility will be the world’s first container-scale facility of its kind to convert CO2 contained in ambient air into highly pure carbon black powder that can be used as a resource in industry.
The research project, scheduled for a duration of three years, is funded by €1.5m by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
INERATEC GmbH, a spinoff of KIT, and Climeworks, a spinoff of ETH Zurich are partners of the project.
