The aim is to evaluate the feasibility, performance, and potential benefits of integrating the technology into these diverse applications, contributing to carbon dioxide reduction efforts and exploring innovative solutions for sustainable environmental impact mitigation.
- Technology Evaluation: Evaluate the design and specifications of the CarbonSorber technology to understand its size, weight, power requirements, and operational considerations. Assess its compatibility with different platforms and environments.
- Fleet Vehicle Integration: Analyze the feasibility of integrating the CarbonSorber technology into fleet vehicles. Consider factors such as available space, power supply, emissions capture efficiency, and potential impacts on vehicle performance. Evaluate installation options, such as retrofitting existing vehicles or designing the technology for new vehicle models.
- Stationary Environment Integration: Investigate how the CarbonSorber technology can be integrated into stationary environments such as buildings or industrial facilities. Assess installation methods, potential interfaces with existing ventilation or air conditioning systems, and the impact on energy consumption. Consider factors such as space availability, air flow dynamics, and maintenance requirements.
- Tree Installation: Study the concept of installing the CarbonSorber technology on trees for CO2 capture. Assess the feasibility of incorporating the technology into structures that can be mounted on trees, such as branches, trunks, or nearby support systems. Consider factors such as attachment methods, protection from environmental conditions, and long-term sustainability of the installation.
- Performance Analysis: Evaluate the performance of the CarbonSorber technology in each integration scenario. Determine the efficiency of carbon dioxide capture, the operational lifespan, and any potential limitations or trade-offs in each application. Analyze the impact of the integration on overall system performance, such as vehicle fuel efficiency, indoor air quality, or tree health.
- Environmental and Safety Considerations: Assess the potential environmental and safety implications of integrating the technology into different applications. Consider factors such as emissions during operation, handling of captured CO2, potential risks associated with installation, and any regulatory or compliance requirements.
- Cost Analysis: Conduct a cost analysis for each integration scenario, considering factors such as upfront installation costs, maintenance and operational expenses, and potential cost savings or benefits resulting from CO2 reduction. Compare the cost-effectiveness of integrating the technology in different applications.
- Design and Engineering Solutions: Propose design modifications or engineering solutions to address specific integration challenges identified in each scenario. Consider factors such as system optimization, control mechanisms, interface compatibility, and ease of maintenance or replacement.
- Feasibility Assessment: Based on the analysis and evaluations, determine the feasibility and practicality of integrating the CarbonSorber technology into fleet vehicles, stationary environments, and tree installations. Identify potential advantages, limitations, and areas that require further research or development.
Students will work closely with CEO, Michael who is supervising and available for questions. This will also include occasional progress meetings where adjustments to the students' tasks and duties can be made if necessary.
