While capture of CO₂ is crucial to reduce CO₂-emissions, the high cost and technological limitations of available technologies restrict their successful and general industrial deployment in the CO₂ capture and utilization (CCU) context. Moreover, given the limited potential of carbon utilization (e.g. the use of CO₂ for the production methanol and urea has a sequestration potential of only 0.5% of the total anthropogenic CO₂ emissions), Carbon Capture is essential to limit global warming. To allow economically justifiable capture and conversion of CO₂ into chemicals, CAPTIN aimed at the development of new and more efficient, sustainable and economically viable CO2 capture and separation technology, via: (1) Intensification of mass and heat transfer processes in CO₂ capture, using a vortex unit and a photochemical aerosol reactor. (2) Electrification of CO₂ capture processes using microwave (MW) and inductive heating (IH), in order to develop faster and more efficient separation cycles. (3) The integration of CO₂ capture and conversion using alkali-mediated capture combined with electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into chemicals.
