iCap (2010-2013) project started
May 27th, 2010
The iCap (Innovative CO2 Capture) project coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim as part of FP7. iCap brings together 15 partners representing the main players in the field of post-combustion CO2 capture. The aim of the project is to develop breakthrough technologies that can be applied to post-combustion CO2 capture. These technologies will make it possible to cut investment costs by 30 to 40% and the energy penalty linked to CO2 capture by 40 to 45%. These technologies notably include: - the use of phase change solvents, - combination of SO2 and CO2 absorption, - the use of CO2-selective low-temperature membranes, - the development of new energy production cycles with CO2 capture.
