Background and project purpose?
Develop an adsorbtion technology for post combustion CO2 capture with a capture rate potential +90%, and with a reduction in cost per tonne (Capex + Opex) captured CO2 of 30%, benchmarked against conventional CO2 capture technologies.
What is the project objective?
The project will conduct a thorough feasibility study with a focus on both technology and
market opportunities. In the first two project phases, several critical technology elements have been matured from the idea stage to theoretically and / or experimentally verified concepts
(TRL 2). During the current project phase, methods will be developed for upscaling adsorbent production. In addition, activities will be performed to prepare for phase 4 – to be able to build a functional Pilot for CO2 capture from a gas burner in a small scale.
What will the project do in terms of activities?
Production of adsorbent on an industrial scale, 20-30 kg per batch. Furthermore, stress-tests of adsorbent shall be performed for testing mechanical and chemical durability.
A feasibility study of the MBCL hot pilot plant will also be carried out, combustion catalysts will be designed and produced in lab scale, and models for the capture technology will be further developed and integrated.
Commercially, activities will be carried out to increase the opportunity to commercialize the technology, both through market research and to facilitate delivery capacity both for continued development and for the commercial roll-out of the technology in the future.
Future plan?
In the next phase of the development, a pilot for CO2 capture from a gas burner will be designed and built to test adsorption capture from real flue gas in pilot scale.
