Abstract

To meet the Swedish climate goals for 2045, CO2 capture technologies must be made available for a broad range of industries. In this project, we will develop a multi-pathway platform for CO2 capture and storage based on tunable carbonate (CO32-) chemistry. Full conversion will be reached through a combination of iterative reactor design and computational fluid dynamics simulations. We perform a series of 3D fully transient reactive gas/liquid CFD simulations to assess the feasibility of a carbon capture utilization (CCU) reactor to capture CO2.
