About
A.-H. Alissa Park’s research focuses on sustainable energy and materials conversion pathways with an emphasis on integrated Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies addressing climate change. Her group develops novel carbon capture materials and reactor systems for a wide range of applications, including Direct Air Capture. Park works on innovative Negative Emission Technologies, such as BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), converting wet and salty marine biomass to highly pure hydrogen and solid carbon. Her recent work includes carbon mineralization integrated with the recovery of energy-relevant critical minerals for the clean energy transition, while creating a circular carbon economy throughout our built environment.
