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.

Diederik Kuipers, Innovation Advisor at Stedin: 'Grid congestion is congestion on the electricity grid. A few years ago, power supply and demand were much more predictable. The grid was adequate and the cables thick enough. Now that we are dealing with weather-dependent wind and solar power, decentralised generation, more and more electrical appliances and means of transport; we are at...
