Electrochemical carbon capture and conversion for clean chemical futures (Australia Japan Innovation Fund (AJIF) 2025-26 Grant Program) (2026-2027)
Abstract
Carbon dioxide emissions continue to be a significant global challenge. Even with the expansion of renewable energy, using green fuels, and new efficient technologies, large amounts of carbon dioxide continue to be released. Hence, finding ways to capture and use this carbon dioxide is globally critical. This project brings together Australian and Japanese researchers to integrate electrochemical carbon dioxide capture with its conversion into formic acid, a valuable industrial chemical and hydrogen carrier. By testing this integrated approach, the project will generate data needed for scale-up, train early-career researchers, and support future Australia-Japan clean energy partnerships, all for emission-free economies.
