Globalco2initiative
The mission of the Global CO2 Initiative (GCI) at the University of Michigan is to get CO2 capture and use recognized and implemented as a mainstream climate solution. This requires leading and accelerating the world in building a marketplace to capture and transform CO2 into commercially sustainable products that harness 4Gt/year of CO2. As a global umbrella organization, GCI convenes and accelerates research, development and deployment by working with research organizations (academic, government, and commercial) and funding sources (angels, institutional, government, and commercial) throughout the world. GCI leads other organizations worldwide by engaging all stakeholders in the ecosystem to:
- Develop the educational discipline of carbon capture and utilization
- Create the global standard tools that accelerate a system-level process of technology assessment
- Accelerate the translation of research to development and market introduction and broad-scale deployment
