Where ARPA-E Fits in with CCS13
Carbon capture projects from FOA-1 andIMPACCT: 49.4M in fundingFunding by categoryFunding by entity type
CO2 capture process using phase-changingabsorbentsPhase-changing materials; allowexploration of unconventional tradeoffsbetween OPEX and CAPEX. Preliminaryeconomic assessments are promising.Solids handling; team hasovercome early limitationsand has a unique desorptionprocess.
High-Throughput (HT) Metal-Organic Framework(MOF) DiscoveryHT surface area measurements Correlate NMR relaxation times tosurface area – faster than BET Robotic instrumentation used withsingle-sided NMRHT sorption isotherms Before: 8 weeks to measure 28 MOFs Now: only 1 day to measure the samenumber Next step: Gen 2 system that measures28 samples at a time with mixed gases16
Cryogenic Carbon CaptureClean GasOutDe-sublimation; CO2 from flue gas is removed bya classical separation process. The SES teamoffers a creative approach with a unique valueaddition for energy storage.FlueGas InFinal target integrated unit operations campaigns on real flue gasMulti-stage contactor; flue gas isfractionated in a high surface-areastaged configuration.
