Description
CO2-HyBrid is focusing on the demonstration of next level Carbon Capture and Storage (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 will be 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). The CO2-HyBrid project aims to bring the membrane technologies and hybrid solution to TRL 6. 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. Hybrid Simulation tools will be developed and validated to be able to cope with operational changes and to conduct 2 techno-economical evaluations of a full-scale unit in 2 different technologies. Also, these activities are poised to position the hybrid solution alongside other sustainable solutions like solar & wind. The DEMO’s, the consortium, and the dissemination & exploitation activities ensure that project results will be replicated globally.
CO2-HyBrid strongly contributes to the decarbonization of the energy system in a sustainable, resource efficient way, as membranes, in the first stage, have a very low footprint and their operation is sustainable as it has low energy consumption and no impurities in the main stream, in the second stage, chemical absorption process have a higher rate to capture CO2 with a lower thermal energy consumption for chemical solvent regeneration.
