Tim supplied details on the comprehensive NETL program to further the carbon capture technologies. External research projects relative to solvents include ionic liquids, novel oligomers, reversible ionic liquids, and a vacuum carbonate absorption process. There is also funded research on sorbents including dry regenerable sorbents ([RTI], metal organic frameworks [UOP], solid sorbents [ADA-ES], and novel carbon sorbents [SRI]). The goal is a capture technology that can achieve 90 percent CO2 removal at no more than 35 percent increase in cost of electricity. The target is commercial deployment by 2020. |
