The New Edge Of Carbon Offset Programme- Carbon Absorber

Aviation is responsible for more than 700 million tonnes of CO₂ generated by 16,000 commercial aircraft globally. The team’s aim to reduce the CO₂ concentration, and subsequently, the effects of global warming through our propose idea of the Carbon Absorber System.

The Carbon Absorber System would absorb the CO₂ emitted by flight below 3,000ft during the Landing Take-Off Cycle (LTO), which has the potential to capture up to 33% of the CO₂ emitted during flight¹.

Carbon Absorber System acts as a sponge, soaking up carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It uses resin as the carbon absorption mechanism.

It is proposed that carbon dioxide capture technology is based on an anionic exchange resin that absorbs CO₂ from the air when it is dry and release the captured CO₂ when it is subjected to certain temperature (40°C) and high air humidity. This polymer-based resin that served as fixed cations are attached to the surface of the polymer, binds with CO₂ when dry to bicarbonate as it saturates. When it is exposed to humid air, the resin will lose its’ affinity with CO₂ and release CO₂ gas_.
