Transcript of Industrial CO 2 capture using a natural process. Our atmosphere is warming up One more type of air...
Our atmosphere is warming up
• One more type of air pollution1. Toxic gas pollution (acid rain)
• Industries, local impacts2. Ozone layer depletion (CFC)
• Industries and households, regional impacts3. Air temperature is rising (Greenhouse gases)
• Industries, transports, agriculture, homes, individuals
• Global impacts on nature and humans
• Greenhouse Gases (GHG)– Carbon dioxyde (CO2)– Methane (CH4)– N2O, HFCs, SF6 and other synthetic gases– Water vapor (H2O), non anthropogenic
Nature is hurt byClimate Change
• Nature itself wants to negotiate
• CO2 is the most abundant GHG
NEW !! Nature can help human beings– To capture and sequestrate CO2
– In order to slow down global warming
• Sustainable Development technologies– Alternative to reduce the amount of GHG
emitted in the atmosphere
Nature does capture CO2
• Forests inhale atmospheric CO2
– Not enough trees for man-made CO2
• CO2 capture in human muscles– Cellular CO2 transformed into
bicarbonate– Carbonic anhydrase enzyme
• A new industrial bio-catalyst– Genetically engineered enzyme– Allows industrial CO2 capture
A powerful bio-catalyst
manufactured through genetic engeneering
Human Carbonic Anhydrase type II(267 amino-acids)
C1374H2600N368O652S7 - Zn
Massive CO2 capture
Your Car1. Sensible driving
• immediate
2. Switch fuel• Mid-term
3. Catalytic muffler• Significant
4. Hybride car• Long-term
An Industrial Plant1. Fine tuning
– immediate
2. Switch fuel– Mid-term
3. CO2 capture– Significant
4. New design– Long-term
A successful demonstration
• CO2 capture at a large municipal waste incinerator (Quebec City)
• CO2 Solution’s Industrial prototype– 5 weeks non-stop, 7/24
– 50% CO2 capture
– Permanent sequestration
• Sound basis for larger scale-up
CO2 Solution Inc. offers an innovative alternative
• CO2 gas is converted
into an unharmful aqueous by-product, inside the reactor
• Low energy process
• Captured Carboncan be recycled
Sustainable Development
• CO2 Solution’s bio-catalysis treatment unit:– instantaneously converts harmful CO2 gas– into unharmful bicarbonate ion (HCO3
--) solution
Offers flexible alternatives for CO2 sequestration
Fossil carbon for energy production can be reused for chemicals
Industrial CO2 Capture
• Clean Energy production – Coal thermal plants - electricity– Natural gas reformers – hydrogen– Boilers for industrial processes – fossil carbon
dependancy
• Industrial process CO2 emissions– Lime factories– Steel furnaces– Cement kilns– Biogas – « waste to energy »
CO2 Solution’s Bio-catalysis
• Technology platform combination– Genetic engineering – bio-catalyst– Large scale biochemistry process– Traditional gas purification technologies
• The power of bio-catalysis– Low cost catalyst manufacture
– High CO2 conversion rate
– Bio-catalyst durability
Biochemical CO2 capture
• First commercially available biochemical process
• Overcomes chemical catalyst limitations
• A sustainable development technology
