Research Programs
The Carbon Mitigation Initiative's (CMI) research covers the areas of carbon science, carbon technology, carbon integration and outreach.
CMI Science
CMI Science collects data from the oceans, the atmosphere, ice cores, and the land biosphere to study how natural sources and sinks of carbon have varied in recent and ancient times, and how they will respond to future climatic change.
CMI Technology
CMI Technology studies energy conversion in conjunction with CO2 capture and storage. Capture studies include both biological and fossil fuel inputs. Storage studies emphasize leakage pathways and now also investigate storage in shales. The program on advanced batteries continues.
CMI Integration & Outreach
CMI Integration & Outreach synthesizes research discoveries and explores the policy implications of carbon mitigation strategies. It also works to communicate issues of carbon and climate to industry, government, NGO's and the general public.
