The project explores how electrochemically driven carbon capture and conversion innovations can be combined with safe transport and/or storage through economically viable networks and clusters, with particular focus on interactions between local communities and technological developments.
The consortium is composed of:
University of Groningen, New Energy Coalition, Wetsus, Coval Energy (NL),
DTU, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, Danish Gas Technology Centre, Aalborg Portland (DK)
Heriot-Watt University, Robert Gordon University, OGTC Ltd, British Geological Survey (UK)
Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, Grecian Magnesite (GR)
OMV Petrom, Energy Policy Group (RO), Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (CN)
Date Time
Large EU project to develop carbon capture technologies
In a new Horizon 2020 project, DTU will lead demonstration projects involving new electricity-based technologies for carbon capture, use and storage.
Partners from Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK, Romania, Greece, China and Canada have joined forces to enable electrochemical reduction of carbon emissions worldwide.
DTU will coordinate the construction of mobile demonstration facilities to be tested at three different locations in the EU: the cement factory Aalborg Portland, the Greek mining company Grecian Magnesite and the Romanian refinery OMV Petron. A common feature of all three companies is that their production inevitably results in high levels of carbon emissions. The demonstration facilities are expected to collect around 100 kilos of CO2 per hour, which will then be converted into usable chemicals.
