I-Corps: Translation Potential of Functionalized Nanocellulose Xerogels for Carbon Dioxide — NSF Award to University of Massachuse
This I-Corps project is based on the development of a material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial and power plant sources. Billions of tons of CO₂ are emitted globally each year, and there is a need for scalable, cost-effective capture technologies. Current solutions are often energy-intensive

| Abstract | This I-Corps project is based on the development of a material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial and power plant sources. Billions of tons of CO₂ are emitted globally each year, and there is a need for scalable, cost-effective capture technologies. Current solutions are often energy-intensive, toxic, and/or prohibitively expensive. This technology uses a bio-degradable, non-toxic material derived from renewable feedstocks such as wood and agricultural waste. Commercial |
