From CO2 emissions to Fuels and Chemicals: Current Development, Challenges and Perspectives

21 January 2022

Capturing CO2 via Direct Air Capture using solid amine adsorbents is an important option to reduce CO2 emissions. In their study, Schellevis, Jakobs & Brilmans evaluated the possibility of a continuous adsorption process for direct air capture in a radial flow contactor, with both batch and continuous operation. They found a 15-25% lower capture efficiency for a continuous process compared to a batch process. This decrease in gas-solid contact efficiency is more pronounced with longer adsorption time and higher surface gas velocity. Overall, a batch process is preferable to a continuous process in most operating conditions.

Four promising electrification options for LANXESS

To electrify a large energy consumer at their Rotterdam production site, LANXESS recently enlisted the help of the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE). After researching and working closely with LANXESS, FLIE came up with four promising options. At its Rotterdam production site, LANXESS makes benzoic acid, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. They are excipients found in everyday products such as toothpaste, medicines, perfume, cosmetics and as

Direct Carbon Immobilization: recovering primary raw materials with fewer CO2 emissions

How to recover primary raw materials from waste without significant CO2-emissions? The Fieldlab Industrial Electrification has supported Alkmaar-based DOPS Recycling Technologies in the project circular industrial conversion technology for waste and residue streams: Direct Carbon Immobilisation (DCI™). To validate the technology at industrially relevant scale, the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE) supported DOPS in the grant application and FLIE acted as project supervisor. Such support is indispensable for a startup.
