 Industry, transportation, and agriculture. Our way of life produces vast amounts of carbon dioxide as a waste product. But what if this carbon dioxide could be used as a resource? What if waste carbon dioxide could be turned into medicine, plastic, or other valuable materials? This is the question that the Carbon Dioxide Activation Center at Ohus University is working to answer. How can we transform carbon dioxide from waste to value? Our aim at this center of carbon dioxide activation is to reverse the role of carbon dioxide as being a greenhouse gas and a wasteful product to being something of a useful resource to build up important molecules for the chemical industry. So what we have developed is a very simple prototype. We take exhaust gas from a car and run it through a small filter. And then we run the exhaust gas over a drying pipe to remove excess water. And we simply take this dry and pure exhaust gas and then we run it through our solution. This solution contains a molecule, a macro cycle, which selectively binds to CO2. Later on, we can take this CO2 and liberate it, and we can in another chamber use this CO2 for creating, for instance, medicine or polymers that can be used in 3D printers. So one of the more future goals of the research that we're undertaking is to build potentially small autonomous devices which can capture CO2 in this device and convert it to something useful. And that could be pharmaceuticals, but it could also be polymers. And if one wants to think about science fiction, we can think of using such autonomous devices on Mars where the atmosphere of Mars is 96% carbon dioxide. So rather than transporting materials, drugs or pharmaceuticals and so on up to Mars, which would cost enormous prices, we could transport these devices which can convert carbon dioxide to these useful molecules.
