CO2 Capture: New Direct Air Capture Unit at ZBT\u2019s Hydrogen Test Field<\/h2>\n

Demonstrating a power-to-gas process chain including various technologies such as photovoltaic, electrolyser, methanation and direct air capture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

ZBT has expanded the plant park at its hydrogen test field with a\u00a0Direct Air Capture Unit<\/b>\u00a0(DAC) for CO2<\/sub>\u00a0Capture. The plant has been recently commissioned and is now fully operational. It has been designed, built and provided by the Finnish company Soletair Power, which manufactures solutions for\u00a0carbon capture directly from the air<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Direct Air Capture Unit at ZBT is operated as part of the\u00a0PtG-MSE project<\/b>, which ZBT is carrying out together with RWTH Aachen University and YNCORIS GmbH & Co. KG. The motivation in this project is to demonstrate a\u00a0power-to-gas process chain<\/b>\u00a0at the ZBT site. This includes the construction and operation of various plant technologies such as photovoltaic, electrolyser, methanation and direct air capture.<\/p>\n

DAC technology plays an important role in the project to provide the amount of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0needed to operate the\u00a0methanation plant<\/b>. The objective is to achieve a\u00a0closed carbon cycle<\/b>\u00a0at that point by using renewable energy to run the plants. In addition, ZBT takes a great interest in operating and testing one of few direct air capture units in Germany in order to proceed in this field of research.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0modular carbon dioxide capture unit<\/b>\u00a0at ZBT removes up to 21 kg\/day of CO2\u2082 from the air, and compresses it to above 10 bar at >98% purity. The unit is housed in a 12 m \u00d7 2.4 m \u00d7 2.87 m container. This plant uses weak base anion resin as the adsorbent for CO\u2082 capture.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in learning more about power-to-gas technologies and the use case of direct air capture, you are cordially invited to our\u00a0Power-to-Gas Workshop<\/b>\u00a0on 28 September 2022.<\/p>\n
