”Getting to know the project partners”
In this project, “A passive-dac system using alkaline by-products to achieve negative emissions”, researchers from Chalmers, the University of Gothenburg, and partners including Boliden, Höganäs, Nordic-DAC Group, Klimpo, and Torkapparater are exploring how atmospheric CO₂ can be captured using an innovative low-cost "passive DAC" system. The method leverages alkaline industrial by-products, such as those from mining and steel production, to bind CO₂ directly from the air.
The project focuses on industries that both emit greenhouse gases and generate suitable by-products, making sectors like mining, metallurgy, cement, and steel key stakeholders. The goal: to develop scalable negative emissions solutions that support both national climate goals and global carbon markets.
In a series of interviews, we’ll introduce you to the project team behind this exciting initiative. You’ll hear directly from researchers, industry partners, and technical experts about their roles, motivations, and expectations for the project.
From scientific breakthroughs to practical applications, these conversations will shed light on the collaborative work driving innovation in carbon removal – and how passive DAC could become a game changer for hard-to-abate sectors.
First to be published is Muhammad Nauman Saeed from Chalmers and Finn Eriksson from Nordic DAC Group.
