2Biochemical CO2 capture
One more tool for adressingclimate change
challenges
- A sustainable development technology
- For energy production and heavy industries
- First commercially available biochemical process
- No more CO2 to handle -
3Greenhouse gases (GHGs)when  too much is
 badÂ
- Nature has had GHG emissions for ever
- In balance with GHG consumption by natural means
- Increasing human activities generate an excess of
GHG emissions - Imbalance with GHG consumption by natural means
- GHG emissions will have to be reduced
- voluntarily and/or by regulation
- CO2 is the most prevalent GHG
- followed by CH4
4Many ways to reduce GHGs
- GHG reduction achievements will be a combination
of various approaches - Selecting the best energy source
- coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, hydrogen
- Upgrading industrial processes
- to reduce amounts of GHGs produced
- Capturing CO2 after being emitted
- for massive recycling or sequestration
5Capture of CO2 emissions
- Greenhouse gas emissions are gas mixtures
- CO2, CH4, H2S, NOx
- The petro-chemical industry already knows how to
selectively extract CO2 from a gas mixture - For industrial use of the CO2-free gas mixture
- Disposal of CO2 at lowest cost
- GHG volumes are massively higher than CO2 volumes
extracted by industry - Petrochemical industry technologies are cost
prohibitive
6Capture - Sequestration
- First, capture CO2
- Extraction form a gas mixture
- Condensation, liquefaction
- Then, sequestrate it
- Where ? Environmental risks
- Will it come back in the atmosphere as CO2 ?
- Need for new technologies
- Less risk, definitive CO2 elimination
7CO2 Solution Inc. offers an innovative
alternative
- CO2 gas is converted into an unharmful liquid
by-product, right at point of emission - No more need of energy to compress or liquify
captured CO2 - No more CO2
8Biochemical catalyst
Using a potent and robust biochemical
catalyst,CO2 Solutions treatment unit
replicates a natural process occuring in human
muscles - Carbonic anhydrase -One of the most
efficient catalysts,now available for industrial
use
- Massive amounts of catalyst are affordably
synthesized through latest advances in genetic
engineering - Production costs slashedby a factor of 100
9Attractive features
- CO2 Solutions reactor operates at ambient
temperature and atmospheric pressure - Lower costs
- Sustainable development technology
- Favorable Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040)
- Can enrich methane-poor biogases by stripping
their CO2 content - The instant by-product is an easily manageable
liquid solution of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-)
10Ancillary benefits of theby-product
- CO2 Solutions treatment unit
- instantaneously converts harmful CO2 gas
- into unharmful bicarbonate ion solution
- Valuable alternatives to CO2 compression or
liquefaction
11Added value of by-product
- Several HCO3- recycling options
- Sequestration in saline aquifers
- More affordable than piping CO2
- Irreversible sequestration, no risk of CO2 leak
- Precipitation, e.g. into calcium carbonate
- Commercial value in Pulp and Paper, etc.
- Pure CO2 regeneration through desorption
- Valuable local production in remote areas
12A plan of actionfor each industrial sector
- CO2 Solution has a plan of action for your
industry sector - Coal-fired power plants
- Hydrogen plants and gensets
- Biogas enrichment for power generation
- Incinerators
- Cement, aluminum smelters, pulp and paper,
foundry - CO2 Solutions plan of action can help you reduce
your GHG emissions by 10 within 3-6 years - This plan of action will be highly competitive
with the increasing costs of CO2 emission
penalties
