Projektbeschreibung
Neue Technologie zur CO2-Abscheidung und -Umwandlung
Angesichts des Klimawandels, der eine immer größere Gefahr für Menschen auf der ganzen Welt darstellt, sind viele Branchen auf der Suche nach neuen Formen umweltfreundlicher Energie oder nach einer Verbesserung der bereits vorhandenen. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt das EU-finanzierte Projekt GICO darauf ab, die wichtigsten Herausforderungen zu überwinden, welche die erneuerbaren Energien daran hindern, sich als Grundpfeiler des Energiesystems zu etablieren. Das Projekt wird dazu die Entwicklung von neuen Materialien und Technologien fördern. Diese umfassen anorganische Sorptionsmittel zur Hochtemperaturabscheidung, Sorptionsmittel zur CO2-Abscheidung, hydrothermale Karbonisierung und sorptionsgestützte Vergasung. Darüber hinaus wird es kleine bis mittelgroße Biomasseanlagen entwickeln, um die Wahrnehmung von Energieanlagen in der Bevölkerung zu verbessern.
Ziel
In order to overcome the main barriers that prevent renewable energy technologies from forming the backbone of the energy system, GICO develops new materials (CO2 capture sorbents; high temperature inorganic removal sorbents; catalytic filter candles; membranes for oxygen separation and methanol production) and technologies (Hydro Thermal Carbonisation; Sorption Enhanced Gasification; Hot Gas Conditioning; Carbon Capture, Storage and Use; Power To Gas via Plasma conversion) to:
• produce intermediate solid (5 vs 15 €/MWh) and gaseous (10 vs 30 €/MWh with zero particulate and ppb contaminants level) bioenergy carriers;
• capture CO2 (40 €/t vs 90 €/t) receiving waste high alkali content and producing bricks;
• convert CO2 to CO and O2 (90 vs 10% efficiency) storing renewable electricity excess;
• produce methanol (35 vs 75 €/MWh) and electricity (100 vs 200 €/MWh).
GICO encompasses technology development (materials, processes, simulations, integrated system besides full-scale design) and assessment (techno-economical, environmental, social impacts and market) and dissemination activities. GICO activities are fully innovative and constitute a breakthrough (in materials and processes development and integration) involving methodological, technological and exploitation developments achieved previously by partners´ research over many years. The GICO activities aim at developing small to medium scale residual biomass plants (i.e. 2-20 t/day and 500-5,000 kWe, compatible with the standard residual biomass availability of few thousand tons per year) will change the actual social acceptance of the energy plants. They will no longer be seen as distant large consumers of resources and emitters of pollutants but as local small/medium plants connected to communities (for waste, materials and energy with negative/zero emissions) within the circular business model (industrial symbiosis with jointly located industries) that GICO promotes.
