Canada's energy resource base includes large amounts of fossil fuels. However, the recovery of these fuels and their use to generate electricity is coming under increasing scrutiny due to their environmental footprint, particularly in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), including carbon dioxide (CO2). One of the common means of capturing CO2 in industrial processes involves wet scrubbing with amine solvents. However, this causes a serious loss in thermodynamic efficiency and is unlikely to be cost-effective on a large scale. As a result, there has recently been considerable interest in dry processes for the capture of CO2. The overall objective of the proposed research is the development of a novel integrated approach to gasification, whereby gasification is combined with newly created solid sorbents to provide viable solutions for CO2 capture. The proposed solution will address major challenges that hinder transformative innovation in the area of CO2 capture. This research is a collaborative project involving academia, government and industry in pursuit of critical fundamental knowledge and application related to CO2 capture. Four research themes will address the challenges and gaps that currently exist: 1) material development, 2) thermochemical process development, 3) comprehensive CFD and process modelling, and 4) pilot-plant studies. The outcomes of this research will be the successful transfer of knowledge for the commercialization of a CO2 capture process, resulting in a major scientific breakthrough. The proposed research will benefit Canada's economy, energy and environment. The expected outcome of this work will benefit the environment through the reduction of GHGs released into atmosphere and potential impact on the legislative policies related to GHGs and a positive impact on the economy through sustainable production of hydrogen and training of highly qualified personnel for Canada's natural resources and energy sectors.

加拿大的能源资源基础包括大量的化石燃料。但是，由于环境足迹，这些燃料的回收及其用于发电的用途正在受到越来越多的审查，尤其是在温室气体（GHG）的排放中，包括二氧化碳（CO2）。在工业过程中捕获二氧化碳的常见方法之一是用胺溶剂湿擦洗。但是，这会导致热力学效率严重损失，并且不太可能在大规模上具有成本效益。结果，最近对捕获二氧化碳的干燥过程引起了极大的兴趣。拟议研究的总体目标是开发一种新型的气化综合方法，该方法将气化与新创建的固体吸附剂结合使用，以提供可行的二氧化碳捕获解决方案。拟议的解决方案将解决阻碍二氧化碳捕获领域变革创新的主要挑战。 这项研究是一个合作项目，涉及学术界，政府和行业，以追求与二氧化碳捕获有关的重要基本知识和应用。四个研究主题将解决当前存在的挑战和差距：1）材料开发，2）热化学过程开发，3）全面的CFD和过程建模，以及4）试验性植物研究。这项研究的结果将是成功地转移知识以进行二氧化碳捕获过程的商业化，从而带来了重大的科学突破。 拟议的研究将使加拿大的经济，能源和环境受益。这项工作的预期结果将通过减少释放到气氛中的温室气体以及对与温室气体相关的立法政策的潜在影响，以及通过可持续生产氢和对加拿大高素质人员培训加拿大自然资源和能源领域的培训对经济产生积极影响的潜在影响。
