Description and objectives
The objective of the project is to demonstrate, through validation in a pilot plant, that the use of amine-based alumina-impregnated solid sorbents is a viable option to increase CO2 capture efficiency and reduce the energy penalty associated with the capture system by 3-4 points.
This objective requires the development and demonstration of innovative solid sorbents. During the project, porous materials will be developed to obtain the best amine deposition rates on solid support for use in CO2 sorption/desorption cycles.
The best solution, chosen through laboratory analysis, will be produced in semi-industrial quantities for validation in a pilot plant with gases from a coal-fired plant.
Value proposition
The specific objectives of the project are the following:
- Development of new sorbents with high CO2 capture capacity, low regeneration energy requirement and fast reaction kinetics.
- Development of new sorbents that avoid the use of water.
- Reduction of thermal and oxidative degradation of sorbents.
