Omani Students Unleashed a Carbon-Cutting Creation
A brilliant team of Omani students recently scored big, winning first place at a global exhibition for their groundbreaking invention. They developed a clever device called ‘AEROCARBON’ that uses a special rock to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from car exhausts, making our air a whole lot cleaner. This innovative solution could be a game-changer for environmental protection.
A Winning Idea Emerged
Under the keen eye of Majid bin Khalfan Al Maqbali, students Omar bin Isa Al Barmani and Tamim bin Yousef Al Mamari from Naeim bin Masaud Basic Education School crafted a remarkable invention. Their ‘AEROCARBON’ device clinched the top prize in the environment category at the 36th International Invention, Innovation, and Technology Exhibition, known as ITEX 2025, held in vibrant Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This impressive feat showcased their talent on an international stage.
How Carbon Was Conquered
The secret behind AEROCARBON’s success lies in its use of peridotite rock. Al Barmani explained that this eco-friendly invention works by installing a filter packed with peridotite particles, which ingeniously transform carbon dioxide into calcium carbonate when a car engine starts. Test results from a certified laboratory at Sultan Qaboos University confirmed the device’s remarkable ability to slash carbon dioxide emissions from both ambient air and car exhausts by over 50 percent, a truly significant environmental win.
