A Pressure-Swing Process for Reactive CO2 Capture and Conversion to Methanol through Precise Control of Co-Located Active Sites in Dual Functional Materials

Summary

The challenge is to reduce the high costs associated with traditional CO2 capture, particularly from distributed sources like gas-fired power plants, and to convert captured CO2 into valuable products. This project's approach involves developing novel dual-functional materials (DFMs) and a pressure-swing process that can reactively capture CO2 and convert it directly into methanol, using renewable hydrogen. The project is currently in progress, with successful development of specific DFM groups and a comprehensive techno-economic analysis framework.
