CO2 capture in relevant industrial streams (CCARE)
Carbon capture is one of the fastest growing topics in sustainable chemistry and separations science, owing to the impact that anthropogenic CO2 is having on global climate. In this context, efforts within the scientific community have widely focused on CO2 capture from large stationary sources such as electricity-generating power plants to minimize emissions.
Later, the capture of CO2 from other industrial sources has attracted rapidly increasing attention, since they allow for the capture of CO2 from many other sources, including waste heat integration.The present investigation aims to tackle CO2 emmisions from industrial sources. The research group has extensive experience in systems for CO2 capture since 2006, as evidenced by the participation in several contracts with the companies Endesa Generación, S.A. and Instalaciones Inabensa, SA, the publication of up to 20 scientific articles directly related to the topic, the granting of a patent, and the award of several prizes to the doctoral theses resulting from the research (granted by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, IChemE, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, EFCE, and the Spanish CO2 Platform, PTECO2).
