DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nCarbon capture and utilization schemes require tha
 t CO2 captured from the atmosphere (or a point source) be released from th
 e sorbent\, and that the sorbent be recycled to capture additional CO2. Al
 kaline solutions such as KOH are effective at capturing CO2 through reacti
 ons that form (bi)carbonates\, but the recovery of CO2 gas and hydroxide b
 efore CO2 electrolysis requires energy-intensive steps. We have solved thi
 s problem by designing an electrochemical reactor that converts bicarbonat
 e “reactive carbon capture solutions” into carbon-containing products. In 
 this presentation\, I will show how this reactor couples CO2 utilization w
 ith upstream carbon capture\, and also how it can perform better than the 
 reactors fed with gaseous CO2 that are widely studied today.\n\n \n\nBio:
 \n\nProf. Curtis P. Berlinguette leads a multidisciplinary team at the Uni
 versity of British Columbia that designs and builds electrochemical reacto
 rs to power the planet. These reactors are designed to use electricity to:
  (i) convert CO2 into fuels and products1\; (ii) decarbonize the built env
 ironment2\; (iii) upgrade commodity chemicals3\; and (iv) drive lower temp
 erature nuclear fusion reactions4. The Berlinguette program has also pione
 ered self-driving labs that advance clean energy materials.5 Dr. Berlingue
 tte is a Distinguished University Scholar at UBC\, a Fellow of the Royal S
 ociety of Canada\, and a CIFAR Program Director.\n
