The newly published article focuses on the physical & chemical aspects of #CO2Β #storageΒ viaΒ liquid & solid chemical carriers & sorbents & gives an overview of the energetics around their use & options for their future development. #CarbonRemoval #CarbonStorage
𧡠1/7
Research pointed that "exciting opportunities for coupling #capture and medium to high maturity multi-year #storage technologies could support #CarbonRemoval in the coming decades." 2/7
Highlights of the analysis are:
πΈ"The remarkable #storage capacity of oxalic acid & formic acid (CO2-density of 1857 kg mβ3Β & 1152 kg mβ3, compared with condensed liquid CO2Β at 993β1096 kg mβ3, respectively)." 3/7
Cont'd...
πΈ"The relative scalability and compatibility of carbonate salts for stationary storage with #DirectAirCapture, and the potential promise of multiple carriers for CO2Β transportation." 4/7
So, results suggested that "solid sorbents do not achieve such ultra-high #storage capacities, but could improve storage over compressed gas tanks on a capacity and energetics basis." 5/7
