Coupling Electrocatalytic Conversion with Industrial Carbon Capture

这个为期2年的项目的总体目标是优化将作为碳酸氢盐水溶液捕获的二氧化碳（CO2）直接转化为碳基结构单元（例如，一氧化碳，用于燃料和具有经济价值的化学品。这一战略将通过整合碳捕获和利用技术以及为捕获的二氧化碳创造新的收入来源，提高二氧化碳捕获过程的价值。该项目由全球综合能源公司TOTAL资助，该公司正在调查部署综合工业碳捕获和利用平台的商业可行性。该项目的短期目标是优化Berlinguette集团（UBC）开发的电解槽技术，以有效转化CO2 Solutions，Inc.开发的CO2捕集工艺产生的碳酸氢盐溶液。（魁北克市，QC）。长期目标是开发一个能够捕获和转化每天1吨二氧化碳的端到端试点系统，以减少温室气体排放，同时促进加拿大经济增长。

The overarching objective of this 2-year project is to optimize the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured as an aqueous bicarbonate solution directly into carbon-based building blocks (e.g., carbon monoxide; CO) for fuels and chemicals of economic value. This strategy will enhance the value of CO2 capture processes by integrating carbon capture and utilization technologies and creating new revenue streams for captured CO2. This project is funded by the globally-integrated energy company TOTAL, which is investigating the commercial viability of deploying integrated industrial carbon capture and utilization platforms. The short-term goals of this project are to optimize electrolyzer technology that has been developed by the Berlinguette Group (UBC) to efficiently convert the bicarbonate solutions produced by a CO2 capture processes developed by CO2 Solutions, Inc. (Quebec City, QC). The long-term goal is to develop an end-to-end pilot system capable of capturing and converting 1 tonne of CO2 per day in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously contributing to the growth of the Canadian economy.
