Research School NETs@Helmholtz

DACStorE @ Jülich, Berlin, Leipzig, Geesthacht, Postdam, and Karlsruhe

The NETs@Helmholtz Research School trains young scientists in the field of negative emission technologies (NETs), with a strong focus on Direct Air Capture & Storage (DACS) for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Its comprehensive approach promotes transdisciplinary thinking, networking, and a critical yet open mindset, while also providing the necessary tools for good scientific practice and a fulfilling career.

The emphasis is on technology and knowledge transfer, equipping the next generation of researchers with the skills needed to make a visible impact on the implementation of negative emission technologies.

"Drawing on my background in Geoscience, I understand the detrimental impacts of long-standing fossil fuel usage on the environment. I aim to leverage my scientific background to explore ways to mitigate these effects through research on negative emissions. By identifying optimal siting conditions and locations, my research can contribute to the large-scale deployment of DACS essential to achieving greenhouse gas neutrality.“

Kenneth Okosun, PhD Student at NETs@Helmholtz
