We seek to make fuel from CO2 using a nickel catalyst to support clean energy. Many fuel production methods can harm the environment, but our approach uses captured CO2 instead of releasing it into the air. This helps reduce carbon pollution while creating cleaner fuels for a more sustainable future. I am keen to break the wall of fuel demand today. 


Kiruthigadevi Kamaraj is pursuing her PhD at the Vellore Institute of Technology in India, after undergraduate degrees in chemistry, and is developing catalysts for hydrogenation and reduction reactions. She is an intern at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Toulouse. She has strong expertise in catalysis, with integrated research and development expertise in the field of fuel technology and CO2 capture and conversion. She enjoys transforming scientific discoveries into real-world applications and products.
