Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Carbon Upcycling Technologies Inc.

$92,200.00

Develop Bench Scale Molten Carbonate Electrolyte Cell for CO2/O2 Separation

FY 2019-20 · 2019-04-16

Summary
Carbon Upcycling Technologies is working to develop a large-scale prototype molten carbonate electrolysis cell (MCEC) to produce carbon nanomaterials and oxygen from CO2 using a low-cost molten salt system, capable of semi-continuous operation in a field setting with a point source emission. The MCEC prototype will be developed simultaneously with further expansion of CUT's primary process, culminating in a field demonstration of both technologies at the ACCTC (Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Center) in Winter 2020.

Description (French)
Carbon Upcycling Technologies travaille à la mise au point d'un prototype à grande échelle d'une cellule d'électrolyse au carbonate fondu (CECF) pour produire des nanomatériaux de carbone et de l'oxygène à partir de CO2 en utilisant un système de sels fondus peu coûteux, capable de fonctionner en semi-continu sur le terrain avec une émission ponctuelle de source. Le prototype de la CECF sera mis au point en même temps que l'expansion du procédé primaire de CUT, ce qui aboutira à une démonstration sur le terrain des deux technologies au ACCTC (Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Center) à l'hiver 2020.
