Integration of advanced hybrid inorganic membranes for carbon dioxide conversion
Using a small robust catalytic converter, Robert Gordon University (RGU) created a process that uses CO2 directly from flue gas at coal and natural gas power stations, or oil sands upgrader plants, to create a variety of commercially important intermediary and feedstock chemicals. The technology could be deployable and scalable, making it useful for a…

Novel Internal Dry Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Technology for CO2 Utilization
In a unique approach, the University of Alberta (U of A) developed a fuel cell that can combine natural gas, CO2 and air to produce carbon monoxide (CO), water and electricity. Where traditional conversion methods consume energy, this reaction creates it. It also creates water and CO, an important and profitable commercial chemical. Using the…

Captured-CO2 Catalyst for the Production of Ethylene Oxide
RTI International has developed a process to use the oxygen in CO2 to convert the CO2 into useful chemical feedstock. With an environmentally responsible and economically sound process that consumes large amounts of CO2, the primary products created are sought after in the chemical industry to make everyday products like ski boots and fishing rods.…

Soda Ash and Bicarbonate from a Low Energy Natural Gas Sweetening Process
Using an energy-efficient natural gas purification process, New Sky’s project will convert CO2 and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) contaminants from sour gas into valuable commodity chemicals, including soda ash, bicarbonate, and sulphur. The process uses a non-toxic, water-soluble base to capture CO2 and H2S, leaving pure natural gas for use as a low-carbon fuel. Instead of…

Skyonic SkyCycle™ Pilot Demonstration
At its core, Skyonic’s SkyCycle™ carbon capture technology uses waste-heat from the source — a CO2 emitting plant — to mineralize CO2 emissions from that same plant. SkyCycle™ uses a synthetic base to capture the mildly acidic CO2, and mineralizes it as a solid carbonate. The primary, profitable product from the proposed Canadian SkyCycle™ Plant…

High-efficiency CO2 capture using novel fibres in the production of soil conditioning agents and polymer replacements
CCm has created a unique process that fixes CO2 to base fibre materials to be used for soil conditioners, fertilizers and other polymers. The process delivers a highly efficient permanent capture of CO2 and creates high-demand products that can help create a positive long-term environmental impact. During the production of soil agents, CCm activates a…

Carbon Cycle
The premise for Carbon Cycle’s technology is to permanently capture large amounts of CO2 in a process that produces precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ammonium sulphate fertilizer. With a new technology, Carbon Cycle’s process uses dramatically less energy and creates a carbon-negative outcome rather than the current carbon-positive methods currently used. With low energy use…

HUMASORB® -L for Removal of CO2, NOx GHGs, along with SOx and Trace Metals from Fossil Fuel Combustion Gases and Recycling of CO2 into a Value Generation HUMASORB® -CS, a Stable Multipurpose Water Filter
With two innovative products, ARCTECH offers solutions to capture CO2 from GHG-emitting industries and filter industrial wastewater with a solid filter that uses captured carbon. Positioned as passive, low-cost products ARCTECH’s HUMASORB®-L and HUMASORB®-CS can be used in a number of industries and applications with very little modification. ARCTECH captures CO2 using a unique liquid…

Direct Catalytic Synthesis of Acetic Acid from CO2 and CH4
The current method for producing acetic acid uses carbon monoxide (CO) and methanol, and emits CO2. The Gas Technology Institute (GTI) has developed a technology that uses CO2 from GHGs and natural gas (CH4) to produce acetic acid. The innovation in GTI’s process removes the need for purchasing methanol, provides a net reduction of CO2…

Valorizing Industrially Produced CO2 : A Reliable and Cost Effective Solution for Carbon Capture and its Conversion to Marketable Products.
The goal for Enerkem is to produce fuels and chemicals that are useful at the location they are generated. As part of this strategy, they have developed a technology to convert CO2 into syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) using catalytic conversion. With the ability to create syngas at varying ratios, Enerkem can produce a variety…
