Low carbon futures involve scientists and engineers working on solutions to accelerate the development of low and new carbon options.
To balance carbon, these researchers imagine and test the impacts of various tools and technologies and aim to understand the natural carbon cycle. The below researchers also look to ensure equitable access to solution-based benefits through public participation in solutions development.
The conversion of CO2, greening of materials production, storage and disposal of CO2, and small nuclear reactors are all areas of expertise at Queen’s.
