Abstract
CO2 capture plays a fundamental role in achieving the climate change goals set by the Paris Agreement 2015. Capturing 90% of the CO2 being emitted from industrial sources is not enough, (Brandl et al., 2021). There is a need to design, optimize and qualify technologies that achieve higher capture rates. The use of chemical solvents, particularly amine-based ones, represents the most advanced technology for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture, (Dutcher et al., 2015). The CESAR1 solvent, an aqueous blend of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PZ), stands out as an open-source solvent among the others for its low energy consumption and slow degradation rate, (Morlando et al., 2024).
Keywords: Post-combustion carbon capture, Amine-based CO2 capture, CESAR1, High Capture rate.
