Join our masterclass on how mechanical engineering is contributing to the climate change agenda delivered by Dr Archibong Archibong-Eso.

Abstract

In 2015, during the Conference of the Parties (COP) in Paris, 196 member countries adopted a legally binding international treaty on climate change with a focus to limit global warming to 1.5 – 2.0 degrees Celsius. Recently, the UK Metrological Office forecast indicates a 50% probability that this limit will be exceeded, which could potentially trigger several climate crises. This unfortunate scenario is due to the increase in global warming, a direct consequence of emission of greenhouse gas. In this session, you will learn about one mitigation technology used to remove CO2 (a major greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere – Direct Air Capture – and how undergraduate Engineering students at the University of Birmingham worked to develop a conceptual design of a Net Zero Future Direct Air Capture Facility.
