New CO2 capture technologies
Funds research into new point-source or direct-air CO2 capture technologies that cut capture costs and environmental impact.
This Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission funds research into new point-source or direct-air CO2 capture technologies that cut capture costs and environmental impact. Proposals must explicitly identify point-source or direct-air capture; the Commission expects to fund three projects and guarantees at least one winner in each of the two capture routes if it clears the quality…
The Commission wants development of new or emerging CO2 capture technologies — solvents, sorbents, membranes, cryogenic or solid-looping routes — that reduce capture cost, either from industrial point sources or directly from air (DAC). It wants proposals to name explicitly which of the two capture routes they cover and to address issues like material degradation, energy use, and delivering CO2 clean enough for transport and storage.
