Are you ready to turn waste into wonder?  🌍✨ Join us for an adventure in the laboratory where you’ll explore how to transform carbon dioxide (CO₂) into valuable chemicals and fuels! As part of World Science Festival Brisbane: Labs Unlocked, GETCO2 is hosting two free lab tours on 27 and 28 March, where you can hear from our top researchers how they design electrolyser components, such as membranes and catalysts, to convert greenhouse gas CO₂ into useful products The University of Queensland School of Chemical Engineering UQ World Science Festival Queensland Museum #WSFB2025 Register here 👉

International Women's Day is coming up this Saturday, March 8th! We have asked some of the amazing women at #GETCO2 to reflect on this year’s theme, ‘March Forward,’ and what we need to focus on for the next steps towards a gender-equal future in the workplace, especially in #STEM and academia. Meet our PhD candidate, Mengmeng Yang 杨蒙蒙 from UNSW, and hear her thoughts on how we can turn promises into progress! 👉 https://lnkd.in/grfDgPmG #IWD #GenderEquity #MarchForward Chuan Zhao

A huge thank you to our colleagues from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) for visiting GETCO2 and the School of Chemical Engineering UQ and delivering an inspiring series of seminars: ✨ Professor Volker Sieber on Enzyme Cascades ✨Dr Sara Arana Peña on Enzyme Immobilization Strategies ✨Professor Jakob Burger on Modelling, Simulation, and Optimization in Process Engineering ✨Dr Manuel Ibañez on Model-Based Optimization of Enzymatic Cascade Reactions The visit was funded by Queensland Government and sponsored by QLD-Bavaria project - a collaboration between The University of Queensland, Griffith University and the Technical University of Munich intended to address global challenges and inspire scientific leadership for a better world! #ChemicalEngineering #Biotechnology #Sustainability #Research #Collaboration #globalpartnership Global Development at UQ Australian Research Council Gary Schenk Muxina Konarova Eloise Larsen Karen Wilson Adam Lee Prasad Kaparaju

GETCO2 Chief Investigator Yuan Chen and colleagues have invented a device that tackles three big problems at once: 🌍Desalination: Removing salt from seawater, making it safe to drink   🌍CO2 Reduction reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air, and converting it into Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can be used for other chemical processes. 🌍 Oxygen Production: During these processes, it also generates oxygen! The paper has been published in Angewandte Chemie as a VIP article! Check it out here 👉 #desalination #co2reduction #oxygenproduction #getco2 #researchdiscovery Australian Research Council

Last week, we hosted our second #GTCO2 UQ Node Spotlight event, bringing together GETCO2 students and researchers from UQ. The event followed our Chief Investigator workshop, and it was fantastic to see so many of our students and postdoctoral researchers gather and meet all our CIs from the GETCO2 partner universities RMIT University, University of Adelaide, UNSW, University of Sydney and Monash University. A big thanks to PhD student Tommy Hatzimanolis, postdoctoral researcher Dr BASIRAM BRAHMA NARZARY, PhD and Associate Investigator Dr Muxina Konarova for presenting your research!

Thank you for visiting GETCO2 at School of Chemical Engineering UQ, Jim Snow!

During our recent visit to Japan with UQ Dow Centre, and UQ Biosustainability Hub, we had the pleasure of hosting an Australia-Japan Partnership Dinner at the Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo. This event brought together industry leaders and representatives from Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) to discuss key considerations for advancing regional decarbonisation priorities. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussions on collaboration opportunities in #electrochemical technology and #bioengineering for #CO2capture and #CO2conversion, #hydrogen production and #Netzero system design using techno-economic (#TEA) and lifecycle analysis (#LCA). Special thanks to our distinguished guests: - Tak Adachi, Trade Commissioner, Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) - Keiko Yanai Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ), - Dr Shigeru Niki, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) - Masaharu(Masa) Kurosawa, Head, SAF Projects, Biomass Energy Business Unit, Sumitomo Corporation - Ko Watanabe, General Manager, Hydrogen Business Unit for Oceania, the Americas & EMEA CIS, Sumitomo Corporation - YOSUKE FUNAKI , Deputy General Manager, Carbon Neutral Transformation Department, Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. Kosan Co., Ltd. Looking forward to continued collaboration and progress in these critical areas! 🌏🤝 #Decarbonisation #AustraliaJapanPartnership #SustainableFuture #Innovation #GETCO2 Xiwang Zhang Esteban Marcellin Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology AIBN UQ Strategic Partnerships School of Chemical Engineering UQ
