The opportunity
In Jamaica, transportation is responsible for approximately 47% of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to the Ministry of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport. A similar trend is seen in all developing nations and even in developed nations. Despite regulatory progress and the adoption of catalytic converters, there remains a significant gap in technologies that actively capture CO2 rather than converting CO to CO2 from exhaust emissions.
Opportunity
Our overall aim is to commercialize and deploy a next-generation emissions control device that will significantly reduce vehicular pollution and contribute to public health and climate goals in Jamaica and beyond.
