Description
The objective of the proposed project is develop a low-cost, high-capacity CO2 adsorbent and demonstrate its technical and economic viability for post-combustion CO2 capture for energy and other industrial plants as well as to develop innovative solutions of purification CO2 stream from energy and other industrial plants. The idea is to propose innovative purification method for CO2 capture based on advanced sorbent in order to possibilities CO2 utilization for food production, greenhouses or other market applications. Overall objective of the proposed project is also strengthening the competences of Principal Investigator, supporting scientific career development and promotion of PI and contribute to being granted a professor title. The research within the Project will be conducted at the Czestochowa University of Technology. In the framework of the Project, international cooperation with Norwegian Partners will be maintained.
Summary of project results
Owing to the implementation of the project, it was possible to define the key directions and research needs in the field of adsorption CO2 capture technologies, from energy and other industrial plants, and strengthening the competences of Principal Investigator. The two main objectives of the projects, i.e. to develop a high-efficiency adsorption technology based on advanced CO2 sorbents for near-zero emission from energy and other industrial plants, and thus to support the of the scientific career of Principal Investigator, have been attained. All activities planned in the project, i.e. the laboratory tests of advanced sorbents, the pilot tests of the adsorption CO2 capture technology and the tests of the adsorption CO2 stream purification method, have been carried out. The short-term outcomes, namely the scientific traineeship at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research and the Technology Centre Mongstad (Norway), an intensive English language course abroad, the author's publications in scientific and trade journals, conferences proceedings, participation in thematic conferences both in Poland and in worldwide, a cycle of lectures on the near-zero emissions gas processing technology from energy and other industrial plants, the publication of the monograph "High-efficiency adsorption technology based on advanced CO2 sorbents for near-zero emission from energy and other industrial plants”, and the publication of the academic textbook “CCS - What Is It?” – an overview for non-specialist readers, and managerial and research teams, have also been achieved. The scientific and research potential developed under project may contribute to the development of the CCS technology. The Polish–Norwegian cooperation conducted under the project has enabled the transfer of knowledge due to the huge Norwegian experience in the field of the CCS technology. In addition, the cooperation between the energy and the industrial sectors has provided access to competences and resources necessary to promote the implementation of the research and technological activities. The Principle Investigator has popularized the knowledge of CCS technologies.
