The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Giner Inc. will collaborate in the development and scaling of an electrochemical system to capture and regenerate CO₂ from air with high efficiency and low energy input under an awarded project from the Department of Energy’s Direct Air Capture Pre Commercialization Technology Prize. Giner’s prototype design utilizes a hydroxide-based sorbent to capture the CO₂ from ambient air and convert it to carbonate in solution. The carbonate is then regenerated electrochemically back into CO₂, releasing a purified, concentrated CO₂ stream ideal for downstream utilization. This process recycles the capture solution and all generated byproducts, including water and hydrogen, making it an extremely resource- and energy-efficient system. This collaboration will facilitate the deployment of this cost-effective solution for direct air capture of CO₂ to enable reduction in global greenhouse gases and advance NETL’s ongoing CO₂ conversion efforts.
