Research forms the foundation and core of YCNCC’s mission. The Center funds fundamental and applied research initiatives across departments and schools at Yale with three primary areas of focus: Ecosystem Capture, Geological & Ocean Capture, and Industrial Carbon Utilization.
-
Ecosystem Capture
YCNCC supports research to protect and enhance natural ecosystems to increase carbon storage and deliver meaningful co-benefits.
-
Geological & Ocean Capture
YCNCC researchers are exploring methods to scale and enhance the geological carbon cycle to increase carbon storage in the ocean.
-
Industrial Carbon Utilization
Scientists at Yale are inventing and advancing innovative methods to convert carbon dioxide into fuels and other useful products.
