LightNET Carbon Capture is an ICN2 seed spin-off project for capturing CO2 at the emission point and/or from the atmosphere. LightNET products will capture CO2 directly from the air at a record low cost. Our

circular products are made of km0, earth abundant and environmentally friendly nanostructured

engineered CO2 capturing coatings, masonry and fillers which essentially are composed of common

and cheap building materials to build XXI centrury carbon negative cities. We believe that our highly

scalable solution may sequestrate the 5-10% of emissions of a city as Barcelona by 2025 and may

solve its entire climatic challenge by 2035. Besides, LightNET works at both, room /high-

Temperature and at much higher-CO2 concentrations thus it can also be applied to capture CO2

from industry at large at the emission point. You will be reporting directly to the CSO/CTO. Your post will be at ICN2 (Barcelona) and ITC (Castelló) with high flexibility of hours and days. Spin-off participation possibility.
