Our Startup is growing! Welcome on board Alex. We are thrilled to have you.

The award is all due to my research group and collaborators. It reminds me how privileged we are to be able to do research as a university professor.

It is great that he is linked to chemistry by the « Keanumycin ».

Water and hydroxide transport are critical for membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer for CO electroreduction. We report methods to tailor this transport for high efficiency, leading to 1 A/cm2 at 2.4 V, and c2+ yield of > 90%. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hlmf925JENm… EPFL Chemistry

"review of 12 large-scale projects reveals a litany of cost-overruns and missed targets, with a net increase in emissions." Fossil Fuel Companies Made Bold Promises to Capture Carbon. Here’s What Actually Happened. desmog.com/2023/09/25/fos… DeSmog Michael Buchsbaum Edward Donnelly

I would estimate that over 99.9% of scientists who actually study climate systems agree that it's a lot cheaper and easier to stop burning fossil fuels than to remove carbon dioxide. So why is Sabine Hossenfelder so wrong? 🧵
