Electrochemically Mediated

Separation for Carbon Capture

• We are developing novel responsive

sorbents and processes for the capture of

CO2 using electrochemical changes in

molecular affinity for CO2

• Collaboration with Siemens

• Just received ARPA-E Award


Electrochemically Mediated

Separation for Carbon Capture


Biphasic Sorbents for Carbon

Capture

• We are working with Tsinghua University

in Beijing to develop composite solvent

systems and new process concepts to

exploit the unique characteristics of these

solvents.

• Funded by LCEUA (Low Carbon Energy

University Alliance)


CO2 Post-Combustion Capture

Workshop

• Talloires, France, July 11-13, 2010

• Objective: To better understand what (if any) emerging technologies look promising to replace today’s amine processes

• Sessions Absorption

Adsorption

Membranes and Ionic Liquids

• Attendees Technology experts – “sellers”

Government and industry – “buyers”

• Results to be published in a special issue of the Chemical Engineering Journal
