Project description
Innovative process for direct air electrocapture of CO2
Innovative technologies are necessary to achieve the extraction of 10 gigatons of CO2 annually by 2050. Direct air capture (DAC) holds the potential to address emissions. By transforming CO2 into value-added products, DAC could drive a transition from fossil fuels towards a more sustainable industrial approach. The system introduced by Estonia-based RedoxNRG employs renewable energy to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and subsequently convert it into green fuel via an electrochemical reactor. The EU-funded CO2REMOVAL project is committed to the development of an electrosorption process specifically designed for the electrochemical direct air capture of CO2. To that end, it is supporting RedoxNRG in the development of a process based on robust conductive and redox-active metal-organic materials (ecoMOMs), which will help achieve stable electrochemical CO2 capture and concentration.
Objective
The world needs outstanding technology and innovative scientific breakthroughs to reach the goal of extracting ca. ten gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year by 2050. Direct air capture (DAC) technology is suitable for offsetting previously over-looked emissions. One cannot overestimate the potential impact of a functional CO2 DAC technology – not only can it help solve environmental problems, but DAC technology can also empower the industry to utilize the captured CO2. The industrial conversion of CO2 into value-added products will cause a slow but steady switch from fossil fuels, turning CO2 from our worst enemy to our best friend. Within the frames of this project, RedoxNRG will develop new electrosorbent materials for the direct air electrocapture of CO2. To advance DAC technology, we suggest augmenting electrocapture with a new class of redox-active and electrically conductive metal-organic materials (ecoMOMs).
