We describe the current status of our research on, and the development of, the Electrochemically Mediated Amine Regeneration (EMAR) process for the capture of CO2 from flue gases. The absorption step in the EMAR process is the same as in the widely used amine process, but the desorption step is accomplished electrochemically as opposed to by a thermal swing used in the amine process. Our laboratory unit has operated continuously for over 200 h, spanning 130 absorption/desorption cycles. We have established an understanding of the thermodynamics of the EMAR process and provided engineering estimates of key features (energetics and sizing) of this technology. The EMAR system does not rely on steam integration, making it a truly plug-and-play unit that can be easily deployed for a range of applications. The EMAR system can also be scaled-down for distributed, modular, and small-scale operations (e.g., stainless steel mini-mills, etc.). Here, results to date indicate that the EMAR process has the potential to be a viable option for post-combustion CO2 capture.
