ACO2NE: Affordable CO2 Negative Emissions through gasification, ocean alkalinisation, and CO2 storage

The aim of the project is to achieve CO2 negative emissions in an affordable manner. CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is one of the important environmental problems of this era, as testified also by international treaties like the Paris agreement: the aim of the project is to take away CO2 from the atmosphere combining different innovative processes.
The project starts with the study of an innovative chemical process that combines gasification and calcination, two well-known and established processes. Revenues are ensured by the hydrogen produced; other products are CO2 and slaked lime.
