The Digest’s 2022 Multi-Slide Guide to Swing Process for Reactive CO2 Capture and Conversion to Methanol

October 30, 2022 | Jim Lane

In this project, researchers are designing and developing tailored dual-function materials (DFMs) and the accompanying pressure-swing process for reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2to directly produce methanol. This will favor lower capital and operating expenses and offer compatibility with a dynamic energy grid to provide favorable process economics. Daniel Ruddy of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory presented […]

October 27, 2022 | Jim Lane

This Project aims to advance the Technical Readiness Level through experimental and modeling to enhance the efficiencies while assessing the TEA/LCA of a dual functional catalytic porous polymer for simultaneous capture and conversion of CO2to value added chemicals (formic acid initially) under natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) application Michell Kidder of Oak Ridge National Laboratory […]

The Digest’s 2022 Multi-Slide Guide to electrochemically driven carbon dioxide separation

October 26, 2022 | Jim Lane

The objective of this project is to develop an electrochemically-driven CO2 separator (EDCS) with 155 kg/m2yr air capture at <5.4 GJ/t (1.5 MWh/t), to characterize PAP ionomer properties to support future Development, and to demonstrate EDCS module with 200 g/day removal and >0.4 CO2 captured per electron. Brian P. Setzler and Yushan Yan of the […]
