A Coupled CO2 and Waste-water Treatment Process to Create High Value Gas/Oil Field Chemicals
The University of British Columbia (UBC) has developed a technology that has the potential to have a large impact on global CO2 emissions while addressing the issue of dwindling global water reserves. The novel technology uses CO2 to desalinate industrial wastewater, creating a smaller carbon footprint and an economical alternative to conventional desalination technology. The…
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…
Use of Carbon Dioxide in Making Carbonate-Bond Precast Concrete Products
Carbonation in the cement of concrete products is readily available. McGill’s process builds on that process and uses CO2 to produce an artificial aggregate to be used in the concrete. Because of the unique properties of carbonated concrete, the end product is stronger and more durable than traditional concrete products. This process can be deployed…
Converting carbon dioxide into chemicals and fuels using clean, domestic sources of energy in Alberta
With the ability to create valuable organic chemicals from CO2 emissions using renewable energy sources, Liquid Light’s process provides an attractive alternative revenue source for CO2 emitting industries. Offered as a licensable technology, industries could potentially produce more than 60 different organic chemicals that contribute to producing consumer goods like water bottles or materials like…
Carbon dioxide utilization in concrete
CarbonCure Technologies injects CO2 into concrete to sequester the carbon and improve the concrete’s performance. The retrofit technology bolts onto existing concrete plants, and allows concrete producers to sequester carbon dioxide emissions directly into concrete, while also making the concrete stronger, and less expensive to manufacture. CarbonCure has already started to commercially deploy the technology with…
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…
CO2 to Graphene Reactors
Carbon Upcycling Technologies, previously JRE Petroleum Services, has developed a technology the captures CO2, combines it with graphite and converts it into graphene. The technology required is small and easily implemented by producers with high CO2 emissions from a variety of industries. The graphene product created from the process is a brand new family of…
Biological Co-fermentation of Carbon Dioxide and Methane to Malate
Industrial Microbes is developing a process to combine CO2 and natural gas into malate, a valuable organic compound used to manufacture biodegradable plastics and fibres. Malate is produced by natural enzymes inside living cells, similar to how alcohol is produced during beer brewing. In Industrial Microbes’ process, CO2 emissions from an oilsands operation or power…
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…
