ACCMat-2 - Advanced Carbon Capture Materials: The Next Generation
FY 2023-24
Summary
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the most promising single strategy for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The net-zero pledges, CO2 tax credits and emission penalties are the key drivers for the rapid growth of CCS. Adsorption is one of the most energy efficient technologies for CO2 recovery from large point sources and directly from air. Our objective is to develop a game-changing technology for CO2 adsorption and recovery, at industrial scale. The applicant is a world leader in the development of innovative adsorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture, and the Industrial Partner, Svante inc. (Burnaby, BC) is the most successful clean energy Canadian company, with a proprietary ultra-fast process for cyclic carbon capture and recovery. Combining a new generation of oxidation-stable adsorbents with the Svante state-of-the-art process will create the ultimate technology for CO2 capture at megaton scale. This winning strategy represents a quantum leap in our current state of knowledge, with significant impact on GHG reduction. It will strengthen Canada's capacity to accelerate the pace toward carbon neutrality.
