Carbon Upcycling Technologies has developed a technology the captures CO2, combines it with graphite and converts it into carboxylated layers of graphene. This graphene an be used for adding mechanical strength to cement or for use in water-purification membranes. The technology required is small and easily implemented by producers with high CO2 emissions from a variety of industries. The graphene product created from the process is a brand new family of nanoparticle. The uses for graphene are continually being developed and represent significant potential.
