Along with substantial benefits and promises of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, significant challenges exist in developing scalable materials and methods for capture and of CO₂. The overarching objective of this project is to provide a system approach for developing a new CO₂ capture and utilization technology using porous carbon and industrial wastes to make a low-cost, scalable and multifunctional concrete product. The objective of Phase I of this project is to develop and fine-tune activated carbons from different wastes such as plastic wastes to offer a cheap, abundant and scalable feedstock for CO₂ uptake. The objective of Phase 2 is creating a facile protocol to develop a concrete prototype comprising CO₂ adsorbed activated carbon (e.g. from plastic wastes), followed by product validation, life-cycle analysis, and bench-scale testing. The project objectives are designed to specifically obtain a final product and technology that directly addresses the main goals of the DOE’s CCS programs.
