IMNI receives $1.75 million Center for Chemical Innovation grant

Researchers at Brown University have been awarded $1.75 million to explore the potential of using carbon dioxide instead of fossil fuels in the production of common industrial chemicals. Advances in this area could help reduce the chemical industry’s carbon footprint and help stabilize production costs in the face of ever increasing fuel prices.

Funding for the project comes from the National Science Foundation’s Centers for Chemical Innovation (CCI) Program, which supports research focused on long-term, fundamental chemical research challenges.
