Center for Negative Carbon Emissions
Learn more about your impact
The Center for Negative Carbon Emissions at ASU is advancing carbon management technologies that can capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air in an outdoor operating environment. We are aiming to have negative carbon emissions, which goes beyond current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Your gift supports this critical work through funding for student support, materials and equipment, and advances research efforts around direct air capture.
We're not just aiming to bring carbon dioxide emissions down; we're aiming to have negative carbon emissions capturing more than we produce using our artificial and reusing it."
