We develop and deploy scalable technologies to address climate change

The Eisaman Lab is dedicated to developing new approaches to carbon removal and clean technologies. Our work sits at the intersection of multiple fields, including physics, oceanography, geochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering.

Our current research is focused on novel methods of electrochemical ocean carbon dioxide removal, including its commercialization, effects on marine ecosystems, the importance of social license, and the potential for colocation and co-benefits with other carbon capture approaches.
