The Institute is a participant in a new $6M 5-year project entitled “Solving the Energy Waste Roadblock”.
The project has been funded by CSIRO’s Science and Industry Endowment Fund and involves Sydney University, CSIRO, Monash University, the Universities of Melbourne, New South Wales and Adelaide and the CO2 Cooperative Research Centre.
The idea is to develop innovative new ways to capture and transform carbon dioxide generated from the burning of fossil fuels. ANSTO has already hired one postdoc, Sam Duyker, and is in the process of hiring a second with this funding.
Our main contribution, which is managed by Vanessa Peterson, will be to use the neutron scattering instruments at OPAL to characterise the materials under in-situ gas-loading conditions.
For more detail, see ANSTO's press release.
