International Test Centre for CO2 Capture (ITC) has been re-organized into Clean Energy Technology Research Institute (CETRi)
From ITC to CETRi: Same mission, fresh start
You may have landed here looking for the International Test Centre for CO2 Capture. That is us. Or at least, that is who we used to be called. Recently we went through a real reorganization. Nothing fake or just on paper. We actually sat down and thought about how to do things better.
So here is the deal. The International Test Centre for CO2 Capture has been reorganized into the Clean Energy Technology Research Institute. We go by CETRi for short. It sounds simpler, right? That was the idea. A cleaner name for cleaner energy work.
Do not worry. We did not throw away any of the good stuff. The same people, the same lab equipment, the same love for capturing carbon. Just a new structure that makes more sense for where we are heading. No more long meetings about old names. Just work.
What we actually do is pretty hands on. We test real CO2 capture solutions in real conditions. Not just theory or computer models. We like to get our hands dirty. Pilot plants, solvents, membranes, you name it. If it catches carbon and makes sense for the planet, we want to try it.
Why did we change the name to CETRi? Good question. The short answer is that the old name was too long and people got confused. International Test Centre for CO2 Capture sounds impressive but it is a mouthful. CETRi is easier to remember and it puts the focus on clean technology research. That is what we actually do every day.
So if you came here for ITC, you are in the right place. We still answer emails from old partners. We still work on the same projects. We just sign our papers with CETRi now. Same people, same smart solutions for CO2 capture, just a better name for a better future.
Thanks for sticking with us through the change. It means a lot. Now let us go capture some carbon.
