The Need for Solvent-Based Carbon Capture<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Industries that emit large amounts of CO\u2082, such as refining, cement, and materials recycling, require rapidly scalable and cost-effective carbon capture technologies<\/strong> to achieve climate goals. Solvent-based carbon capture is one of the most promising solutions because it is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Adaptable<\/strong> to various emission sources.<\/li>\n
  • Capable of achieving high capture rates<\/strong> and delivering CO\u2082 with high purity.<\/li>\n
  • Relatively energy efficient<\/strong> compared to other technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    AURORA\u2019s Innovations and Goals<\/h4>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    The AURORA project aims to optimize and demonstrate<\/strong> the use of the open, non-proprietary CESAR1 solvent technology<\/strong> for commercial deployment. CESAR1, which is a blend of AMP and PZ, will serve as the new benchmark solvent, replacing older options like MEA. The project focuses on three CO\u2082-intensive industries: refining, cement production, and materials recycling\u2014industries for which few decarbonization alternatives exist.<\/p>\n

    Demonstration Across Multiple Sites<\/h4>\n

    The AURORA project will integrate these innovations into four optimized capture processes<\/strong>, which will be demonstrated at three pilot plants<\/strong> of varying sizes and complexity:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • SINTEF\u2019s Tiller pilot<\/strong> (Norway): A medium-scale facility for testing and validation.<\/li>\n
    • ACC\u2019s mobile test unit<\/strong>: A flexible and portable system.<\/li>\n
    • Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)<\/strong>: A large-scale demonstration plant, offering real-world operational insights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The diversity of these pilot plants allows AURORA to validate its technology under different conditions, enhancing its credibility for future deployment.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” module_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      To ensure that the results benefit other CO\u2082-intensive industries, AURORA will conduct full assessments of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) chain<\/strong> for its industrial end-users. The project focuses on two European regions\u2014Belgium<\/strong> and Greece<\/strong>\u2014which offer unique conditions for implementing CCUS value chains. This regional focus will demonstrate the transferability of AURORA\u2019s solutions to other industries and locations, further accelerating the adoption of solvent-based carbon capture across Europe.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” module_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      By optimizing CESAR1 technology and demonstrating its capabilities in real industrial settings, the AURORA project aims to revolutionize CO\u2082 capture in energy-intensive sectors. Through innovative process design, energy efficiency improvements, and strong collaboration among partners, AURORA is paving the way for the accelerated deployment of CCUS technologies, helping industries move closer to climate neutrality.<\/h4>\n
