IMPACCT: Carbon Capture Technology

IMPACCT Project: IMPACCT’s 15 projects seek to develop technologies for existing coal-fired power plants that will lower the cost of carbon capture. Short for “Innovative Materials and Processes for Advanced Carbon Capture Technologies,” the IMPACCT Project is geared toward minimizing the cost of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power plant exhaust by developing materials and processes that have never before been considered for this application. Retrofitting coal-fired power plants to capture the CO2 they produce would enable greenhouse gas reductions without forcing these plants to close, shifting away from the inexpensive and abundant U.S. coal supply.

ARPA-E / Achieving at 10,000 GPU Permeance for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture with Gelled Ionic Liquid-Based Membranes

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) makes up 78% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas production and has been linked to global climate change and ocean acidification. Therefore, as climate change becomes an increasingly unavoidable environmental, industrial, and political issue, it is desirable to develop technology capable of economically separating and sequestering large amounts of CO 2 . This separation and sequestration technology is also likely to play a role in maintaining the economic value of fossil fuels in the event of a concerted global CO 2 mitigation effort. The initial step toward this technology is to identify and develop an economically viable method of separating CO 2 from flue gas at large point sources such as coal-fired power plants. As an alternate CO 2 capture technology, polymer-based membrane separations offer relatively low operating costs with low-maintenance requirements. Therefore, the development of highly selective and permeable membranes for the separation and ultimate sequestration of CO 2 is of vital importance.
