GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Cement production is the largest producer of CO 2 of any current manufacturing process, generating 5–6% of the global anthropogenic emissions of this greenhouse gas. This is a powerful economic incentive, rather than economic cost, to mitigate climate change through a carbon negative process. —Licht (2017). 2017.02.005.
