Membrane separation of carbon dioxide from flue gas and its subsequent use
Project ID:TK02030155
Provider:Technological Agency of the Czech Republic
Period:Jul 01, 2019 - Jun 30, 2024
Co-investigatorsA. Mašláni

Aims of the project: Within the project, IPP provides research and development of the possibility of using separated CO2 for the production of synthesis gas from waste plastics within the CCU (carbon dioxide capture and utilization) philosophy. The production of synthesis gas for further use (for the production of SNG or alternative fuels) will be carried out by a plasma gasification system, where electricity is consumed, so there is the possibility to incorporate this use of CO2 into the Power2X philosophy, ie the use of electricity at even negative) and long-term storage of electrical energy in chemical energy (eg in the form of liquid fuels via synthesis gas). The main expected benefit for ÚFP is the incorporation of technology with which we have many years of experience (ie high-temperature plasma gasification) into the presented CCU concept and real verification of the possibility of using plasma gasification in this functional unit. As part of the project, we plan to expand our know-how to use currently very available waste plastics as an input matrix for reaction with CO2 for synthesis gas production, we will also evaluate in detail the possibilities of synthesis gas produced for further use, especially for the production of alternative fuels such as SNG, or Fischer-Tropsch fuels. Due to the possibility of increasing the H2/CO ratio in synthesis gas, we will also expand our know-how with the possibility of partial plasma pyrolysis, where part of the input carbon from plastics will come out of the process in the form of soot, which will be purified from the gas and their commercial use will be considered. Above all, we hope that the project will significantly integrate our activities with the activities of other participating institutions and establish long-term cooperation with them on the topic of cleaning not only flue gases, but also synthesis gas using membrane technologies.
