Hybrid Solvent – Membrane for post-combustion CO2 capture and utilization - CO2-Hybrid

CO2-HyBrid is focusing on the demonstration of next level CCS technologies in major CO2-emitting industries. This will lead to a 20% more efficient CO2 capture process compared to the state-of-the-art capture technologies. The main objective of CO2-HyBrid is the scale up and demonstration of a hybrid solution based on a membrane pre-concentration step and chemical absorption polishing step. Two membrane types, and two solvents are used to produce 2 hybrid configurations to be tested in 2 test sites with different industrial gas properties (coal/natural gas fired power plant and Waste2Energy pilot installations). Through this synergy the benefits of both technologies will be exploited and result in a 15-25 EUR/ton CO2 removal costs in Post-Combustion Carbon Capture process suitable for many industrially processes. The aim is to demonstrate the reliability & flexibility of the solution and achieve CO2 quality suitable for utilisation/storage. CO2-HyBrid strongly contributes to the decarbonization of the energy system in a sustainable, resource efficient way.
