Support the Carbon Capture Crew Today!

The Carbon Capture Crew (C3 team) is a group of students engaged in the chemical engineering senior design project committed to the development of small scale, direct carbon capture technology. The C3 team is composed of passionate engineering students devoted to making an impact through innovative, environmentally sustainable solutions, contributing to Colorado State University’s initiative to meet “green” specifications. 

Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, this group of students is developing a cubic-foot direct carbon capture cube focusing on mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. The device involves the intake of ambient air, extraction of carbon dioxide, and storage or reutilization of such carbon for other applications such as fertilizer for greenhouses to promote plant growth. Within the academic year, the creation of the apparatus involves market analysis, process synthesis and simulation, prototyping, testing, and production to be continued and improved upon by future students.  

In hopes of generating a product that functions properly and has the potential to become a common household item, the team needs to perform prototyping, market discovery, and analysis, refinements, and testing. In the end, the goal for the team is to produce a functional carbon capture device that removes and sequesters more carbon dioxide than it emits, successfully partaking in the 2050 carbon-neutral movement. As an additional goal, the team aims to inspire K-12 students to join the Walter Scott College of Engineering while creating a solid foundation for competing in the November 2024 ChemE Cube competition. 

Your donations to this project make a significant impact on the team’s abilities to achieve their goals of environmentally sustainable technology, encouraging younger individuals to find passion in impactful engineering and contribute to the worldwide goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. 

All donations to this project benefit us through the Chemical and Biological Engineering Senior Design Projects fund.
