Ohio Student Earns Arrow Electronics Innovation Award for Environmentally Friendly Invention

CENTENNIAL, Colo., July 26, 2022 /3BL Media/俄亥俄州八年级生Tarun Batchu赢得了2022年电子奖的箭头电子创新U.S. Invention ConventionNationals competition June 3 atThe Henry Fordin Dearborn, Mich. The contest showcased inventions created by K-12 students aimed at addressing real-world problems.

Batchu, who lives near Columbus, Ohio, developed a device to reduce the emissions of harmful gasses from factories. Called AES CAGED (An Environmental Solution to Acid Carbonic Gas), Batchu’s invention is designed to attach to factory smokestacks to condense and contain gases, using a cryogenic process. Once the gas reaches a liquid cryogenic state, it’s stored underground, slowly making its way to carbon pools in soil.

Batchu says AES CAGED can be deployed for roughly $300,000 per facility and can be automated, making it a more cost-effective option than current, custom-built carbon capture solutions, which can cost upwards of $400 million to implement.

“像Tarun这样的年轻创新者将在打击气候变化的斗争中至关重要。我们鼓励新一代的发明者努力为世界上最关键的问题开发创造性技术解决方案。” Arrow的企业社会责任总监Joe Verrengia说。

The Arrow Innovation in Electronics Award is part of the company’s Innovation in Technology awards program, which honor the world’s brightest student innovators and emerging technologies, transforming ideas into real and influential achievements that will help people and the communities in which Arrow works.

Competitors participating in the Invention Convention U.S. Nationals were selected after highlighting their inventions at local affiliate events across the United States.
