Advances in carbon sequestration and direct air capture systems are enabling significant progress in removing carbon dioxide, or CO2, from the atmosphere in efforts to stem the detrimental impacts of global warming. Klaus Lackner, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and director of ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, is among the leading pioneers who have developed and/or enhanced such valuable technologies and systems. The achievement has now earned Lackner election to one of the most prestigious organizations honoring impactful contributions to society.
