this gas from the ambient air. His team first reported the use of solid amine adsorbents for CO2 capture from air, otherwise known as direct air capture (DAC) at the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ (AIChE Annual Meeting in 2009), and their first peer-reviewed publication on the topic appeared in 2011. His review of emerging methods of carbon capture in 2011 was one of the first describing the nascent field of DAC.

Jones’ early work in DAC was carried out in collaboration with Global
Thermostat, one of the earliest start-up companies focusing on DAC. Jones was the external examiner of the PhD thesis of Jan Wurzbacher, one of the cofounders of the DAC start-up Climeworks, at ETH Zurich. Since he began work on

In 2006, Jones began work designing solid adsorbents based on supported amines for carbon dioxide (CO2) separation from dilute gas streams. After an initial focus on recovering CO2 from flue gas streams associated with coal-fired power plants, in 2008 he turned his attention to the extraction of
