Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a minor component of Earth's atmosphere but the most important of all greenhouse gases linked to global warming.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. The combustion of fossil fuels is the main cause of the increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and until fossil fuels phase out, carbon capture should be employed to mitigate climate change.
A number of CO2 capture technologies are already available in industrial scales but, these methods face a high energy consumption. In this PhD project an electrochemical process for capturing CO2 will be studied.
The project focuses on development of an existing DTU Chemical Engineering mini-pilot for CO2 capture in order to target emissions control of impurities, especially those found in the flue gas from cement plants. The scope of the project is to create real and impactful changes to the climate.
