And what happens in our reactor is the  CO2 gas actually punctures holes through the carbon and it activates the  carbon as well. &nbsp;It creates a very volatile environment where the  surface area of the carbon gets exposed. &nbsp;And at the end of it we also  get that CO2 bonding to the surface of that solid carbon. So the process  not only creates this high surface area of nanoparticles which in some  cases would be single layered, which would then be considered graphene,  but could also have carboxyl groups on it. &nbsp;And that means overall when  you look at the whole energy balance around our process, we capture more  CO2 than we use as energy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apoorv Sinha says Carbon Upcycling&#8217;s process will significantly reduce the cost of producing nanoparticles.&nbsp; <br \/><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><br \/>Thanks today to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>I&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccemc.ca\">Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/ian_CCEMC-B_RGB_FullName_logo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02015-12-17<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apoorv Sinha of Carbon Upcycling Technologies explains the company&#8217;s carbon conversion technology which takes flue gas and turns it into nanoparticles for use in coatings, polymers and concrete.<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> (Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,14,66,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alberta","category-climate-change","category-climate-change-and-emissions-management-corporation","category-nanotechnology","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1901"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5060,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1901\/revisions\/5060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
