At Ingenuity Lab, Dr. Carlo Montemagno is defining large scale global problems that could be solved through the integration of natural systems and nanotechnology.

 

The objective is to use financial and physical resources more effectively. 

 

Two broad ranging, globally significant  targets are health care and converting greenhouse gas emissions.  Clean water is another.

 

DR. CARLO MONTEMAGNO:    Probably the biggest problem that is facing society  right now is the availability of good quality water.  Not just for drinking but for agriculture.  So we’re focused very heavily on trying to develop a new state of the art technology that allows us to  take water which is not potable and not suitable for agriculture and economically transform it into a supply of water to make people more prosperous by being open to up lands through irrigation to generate food, by being able to provide quality drinking water that’s safe.  And the end result is that you end up having a globally healthier and more prosperous world.

 

Dr. Montemagno says Ingenuity Lab is also applying its CO2 conversion model to transforming waste from the dairy industry.
