Description

Integrated Electrochemical System for Carbon Capture and Hydrogen Production

A Modular, Energy-Efficient Solution for Reducing Atmospheric CO₂

The Challenge

Current carbon capture technologies face significant hurdles in addressing both distributed CO₂ emissions and direct air capture (DAC). Current solutions are:

Energy Intensive: Traditional methods rely on chemical solvents or solid adsorbents that demand high heat, steam, and electricity for regeneration. Infrastructure Heavy: Large absorption and desorption towers increase capital costs and system complexity. Inefficient DAC for Low CO₂ Concentrations: Capturing CO₂ from ambient air (400 ppm) remains technologically and economically challenging.These limitations impede scalability and economic viability, especially as global CO₂ emissions from distributed sources like transport remain a critical challenge.

How It Works

The proposed technology integrates a Carbonate-Composite Membrane Reactor (CCMR) with a Protonic Ceramic Electrolyzer (PCE) to enable efficient carbon capture, hydrogen production, and energy generation:

Carbonate-Composite Membrane Reactor (CCMR): Captures CO₂ directly from ambient air while generating electricity and steam. Protonic Ceramic Electrolyzer (PCE): Produces renewable hydrogen using the steam and electricity generated by the CCMR. Thermal Balance: Couples the exothermic CCMR and endothermic PCE to create a thermally uniform and energy-efficient system. Closed Water Loop: Water produced in the CCMR is used for hydrogen production in the PCE, ensuring net-zero water consumption.This hybrid approach minimizes energy loss, reduces auxiliary power demand, and eliminates the need for traditional solvent regeneration processes.

Key Advantages

Energy Efficiency: Generates electricity and reuses heat within the system, lowering overall energy requirements. Net-Zero Water Consumption: Closed-loop operation ensures sustainable water usage. ...
