ACORN projects are volunteer based with a *10-12hr per month* time commitment. A potential funding opportunity is also listed below. Graduate students and postdocs interested in either of these projects should *respond with a CV and a brief (a few sentences) description of their interest* in the project by *Friday, May 5th*. Potential Homeostasis ACORN Projects: Project 1: Passive vs Active CO2 Removal Box Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal startup that is developing a mode of direct air capture (DAC) that does not require forced air flow. Conventional (active) DAC makes use of large arrays of fans to pump air across their contactors, expending an additional 15-35% of energy on an already energy intensive process. A growing school of thought sees passive DAC as a more effective solution. Homeostasis would like to study the macro effects of this passive DAC paradigm on atmospheric CO2 levels, relative to that of active DAC systems. Until multiple at-scale DAC systems are operational, quantitative comparisons can only be achieved via modeling. Homeostasis is interested in working with one or more graduate student(s) as an ACORN project team to build such a model. They are open to the types of skill sets and knowledge bases that could assist with this effort, though imagine a background in atmospheric box modeling and/or fluid mechanics would be ideal. Project 2: CO2 to Graphite Process Life Cycle Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal & utilization (CDRU) startup that is developing a process that removes and reduces atmospheric CO2 into carbonaceous products (namely, carbon black & graphite). It is vital for CDRU organizations to build and regularly perform Carbon Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) to ensure they are having the effects on atmospheric carbon that they proport. Homeostasis has created a preliminary LCA model, and is looking to revisit and refine this model with the help of one or more graduate student(s) familiar with this type of analysis or willing to learn about LCA independently as an ACORN project team. *Potential Funding Opportunity:* While ACORN cannot directly offer any funding for volunteers, interested students may submit a proposal for the PCC Climate Solutions Project funding . This funding is ?to support graduate students engaged in the Program on Climate Change in applying their climate-science knowledge to solutions-based projects, capstone programs, and outreach efforts with community organizations and partners to help them gain experience outside academia.? The application for funding is rather concise and ACORN projects already fulfill many of the requirements. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, so students can feel free to apply before or after they express interest in an ACORN project. -- Acorn Project Team Program on Climate Change University of Washington -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
