Impact Objective • Develop an innovative green chemical production technology which contributes to the EU’s objectives of decreasing CO2 emissions and increasing renewable energy usage Curbing CO2 with catalysis Ómar Freyr Sigurbjörnsson and Dr Loredana Magistri, Dr Blaž Likozar and Dr Angel Sánchez-Díaz are testing the feasibility of a novel approach to carbon capture and utilisation as well as hydrogen storage. If successful, this could partially tackle the ongoing challenge of increasing CO2 emissions Ómar Freyr Sigurbjörnsson Dr Blaz Likozar Dr Loredana Magistri Dr Angel Sánchez-Díaz BL: I am an Acting Department Head, Senior Scientific Associate and Assistant Professor in the Department of Catalysis and Chemical Reaction Engineering at the National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia. How did the MefCO2 (Synthesis of methanol from captured carbon dioxide using surplus electricity) project come about? BL: The idea arose from the simple, well- known fact of increasing environmental CO2 emissions and by posing the questions of what could be done with this CO2 and how could it be converted in a manner that is close to existing chemical processes. ASD: The need to reduce our economy’s carbon footprint is indeed a challenge that can only be tackled by applying technology innovations. This is basically the goal of MefCO2, to demonstrate the economic feasibility of a novel CCU (carbon capture and utilisation) approach. Could you give an insight into the collaborative nature of the project and why this is so important? OFS: The technology being developed is integrating the power market with fast response electrolysis and carbon capture technology from existing point sources of CO2 into a flexible chemical production plant. This requires diverse skillsets and expertise from both the technical and commercial perspective, and collaboration is therefore very important to realising such a project in an effective manner. It is still early on in the project, but has MefCO2 made any notable progress to date? LM: Interesting results have been obtained in the catalysis study, system management and plant optimisation. In particular, considering the high capital cost of the plant, it has been highlighted that other revenue sources such as the oxygen selling are an important part of the potential benefits of the process. How will the project be adapted to various plant sizes and gas composition? ASD: Our business case foresees plants from 4,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year, and plants could be even bigger, increasing scale economies. As long as flue gas is required, we need a clean source. This implies having additional rigs for removing harming chemicals like sulphur, which may eventually poison our catalyst. What hopes and aspirations do you have for MefCO2 and further research in the coming 5 to 10 years? ASD: We need to learn more about continuous operation; a 5 to 10 year period will give us more information about the right ‘configuration space’ for operation. We also have to improve our knowledge on catalyst characterisation and synthesis; the underpinning chemistry is becoming mainstream, but we need cheaper and more reliable catalysts. Could you begin by briefly introducing yourselves? ASD: For most of my career, I have worked in the ICT field and software engineering, always with a clear focus on technology exploitation. Currently, I am working on innovative approaches to create value from technology by realising the potential of research coming from high impact areas such as the low carbon economy, advanced and personalised food and gene editing. LM: My fields of expertise are the analysis and simulation of high temperature fuel cells, innovative energy systems with carbon capture, energy storage by hydrogen, and platform chemicals production. OFS: I joined Icelandic renewable methanol company Carbon Recycling International in 2009 and have been the Director of R&D there since 2010. My responsibilities include the management of research projects, pilot plant operations and application engineering, as well as intellectual property.PDF Image | GREEN METHANOL FOR A GREEN FUTURE
