 I'm Sillin Shao and we're co-leads of Team Equestr. We're designing and building a direct air capture system which can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. What makes our project unique and interesting is that we only use electricity in this process. This means we can be coupled with renewable electricity resources to minimize our environmental impact. Our project is estimated to be less carbon intensive and more energy efficient than current commercial direct air capture processes. The capture carbon dioxide can then be stored away permanently. Our design is innovative and backed by research. The fundamental principles of the design have been proven to work. Now we just need some funds to combine all the subsystems together and experimentally show our design works. This award will help us prove that. We are already seeing the effects of rising carbon dioxide levels all around the world. It's not enough to be just a carbon neutral, we have to be carbon negative to really make a difference.
