In DAC, CO<sub>2<\/sub> is filtered selectively from the air and concentrated into a pure gas stream. After capture, the CO<sub>2<\/sub> is available for further steps, like storage or utilization. The current technological solutions for DAC are expensive and consume a lot of energy. Therefore, new and improved DAC technologies are required. The SESACOO project advances such an innovative technology utilizing supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA). SSA operates with electricity, which makes the capture\/release-cycle inherently more efficient than comparable processes that rely on heat or pressure.<\/p>\n<p>In SSA, a supercapacitor \u2013 a device, that stores energy by forcing two electrodes connected by an electrolyte into oppositely charged states \u2013 is used. What makes it special is that at least one electrode is open towards the atmosphere to allow the CO<sub>2<\/sub> in the air to interact with the supercapacitor. Under certain conditions, the CO<sub>2<\/sub> prefers to enter the supercapacitor, while it is released from the supercapacitor under others.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most interesting advantages of this concept are the required materials: The electrodes can be made from biochar, while the electrolyte is made from water and salt. Therefore, SSA could be developed into a very environmentally friendly DAC concept.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of SESACOO is to understand the capture and release processes in detail and to turn it into a practical, fully electric DAC technology. A small demonstrator plant will show that CO<sub>2<\/sub> can be removed at real atmospheric concentrations and that the process is robust enough for later scale up. The consortium also checks environmental impacts and costs through life cycle and techno economic analyses, to see whether this method can truly provide scalable, climate friendly carbon dioxide removal.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>is researching the selective removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using electrochemical alternating sorption on sustainable carbon materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6711,"template":"","class_list":["post-6684","consortia","type-consortia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
