Postdoc position for research on “Carbon removal opportunities via durable CO2-based products”

Carbon capture and utilization via conversion to products, such as aggregates, concrete, and plastics provides opportunities to durably remove CO2 from the atmosphere and water. Work conducted by the Global CO2 Initiative has shown that the magnitude of such opportunities can reach levels that have climatologically significant positive impacts. However, the background literature on respective research and technologies shows that firm projections for key parameters such as cost, utilization of CO2 tonnage, operational environments, and other key parameters are difficult due to a wide range of data.
We are looking to conduct a comprehensive study on documented methods, demonstrated, or projected, that can convert CO2 into long-lived products. The outcome of this work will be a validated compilation of quantitative information that will serve to project more accurately what market and carbon removal opportunities could be created, as well as a baseline data set for integrated assessment models.
The Global CO2 Initiative is a leading global organization that brings strategic guidance to this emerging field. We advise key stakeholders operating in the carbon capture and utilization space. The output of your work will be highly visible and fill an urgently needed large gap in the field. We look forward to welcoming you to our dynamic and effective team.
