Efforts like the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage R&D program implemented by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy are focused on developing technologies to capture, separate, and store CO2 so that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced without adversely decreasing the U.S. energy supply, which would hinder economic growth. The goal of the current Phase I project is to propose and demonstrate the feasibility of a solid-state CO2 capture, storage, distribution, and utilization (CCSDU) paradigm that can help towards meeting DOE goals for reducing CO2 capture, storage, and transportation costs. This application will be enabled by two process technologies. The first technology is known as low-temperature solidification (LTS), which can be used to capture CO2 gas to form solid carbonates in an energy-efficient manner without the need for high temperature equipment. The second novel technology that is key to the proposed paradigm is a proprietary release process (PRP), which is normally used to synthesize submicron multicomponent oxide powders but can also be used as a low-energy route for separating CO2 from solid carbonates in a controlled manner. Together, the two technologies potentially provide cyclability for capture and release of CO2, allowing the transport of CO2 in solid form from the site of its emission for utilization elsewhere. Management of CO2 in this manner is potentially less costly and allows much more throughput than traditional storage forms like dry ice and liquid CO2. The overall objective of the Phase I work was to demonstrate the basic technical feasibility of CCSDU technology.
