GWU research team C2CNT advances to the final round of the Carbon XPRIZE; CO2 to carbon nanotubes

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht, a chemistry professor at the George Washington University, and his team of researchers are among the finalists announced today in the $20-million Carbon XPRIZE competition. In the finals, teams must demonstrate at a scale that is at least 10 times greater than the semifinals requirements at a purpose-built industrial test site.
