About Course

Lives online session is scheduled on 23 October at 16:30 Dubai time.

This webinar introduces a novel carbon-capture approach that uses ultramafic rock–based filters to remove CO₂ from emission streams.
Participants will learn the science of mineral carbonation, see how laboratory tests simulate industrial flue gases, and review the performance data—capture efficiency, reaction rates, and durability.
The session also compares this method with conventional capture technologies, highlighting cost, scalability, and environmental impact.
It concludes with a look at real-world applications and future research opportunities for integrating ultramafic filters into large-scale decarbonization projects. 

The webinar is based on the study results from Texas A&M University, detailed in the paper “Ultramafic Rock-Based Filters for CO₂ Capture in Simulated Emission Streams (SPE-228354-MS)” by Berna Hasçakır, PhD, Professor at Texas A&M University and Director of the HOCAM research team.

What Will You Learn?

  • The role of ultramafic rocks in integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) and how they facilitate both CO2 adsorption and mineralization.
  • Experimental evidence of CO2 capture using flue gases from hydrocarbon and biomass combustion, including spectroscopic (FTIR) and thermal (TGA/DSC) analyses.
  • The influence of mineral composition (e.g., serpentine, olivine, dolomite) on CO2 uptake efficiency and stability.
  • Practical implications of using natural rock-based filters as scalable and low-energy alternatives to conventional carbon capture technologies.
  • Future research directions and industrial opportunities for coupling reactive minerals with emission sources such as refineries and power plants.
