Project: Conversion of Captured CO2 to Industrial Chemicals
| Acronym | CoCaCO2la |
| Project Topic | CoCaCO2la will develop a room temperature isothermally integrated carbon capture and utilization (CCU) system that will combine phase change solvents (PCS) based CO2 capture with an intensified captured CO2 co-electrolysis (ICC) unit that allows CO2 reduction and solvent regeneration in a single unit operation. PCS composed of mixtures of primary/secondary and tertiary amines, can achieve high loads (and fast kinetics) of CO2 captured as bicarbonate (HCO3-) will be directly fed into the ICC for CO2 reduction with high utilization. Within the ICC unit, CO2 stripping is promoted by the protons transferred in the electrochemical cell. CO2 is released in-situ, isothermally with the absorption unit, and in the vicinity of the electrocatalyst, enabling high CO2 localized concentration, and efficient electrochemical reduction. Unreacted CO2 can be re-captured facilitating the purification of the gaseous products. |
