A significant (>90%) source of CO2 emissions in the energy sector is power and steam production from the efficient use of combined heat and power (cogeneration) from natural gas. Current technologies for large-scale CO2 capture from cogeneration flue gas are unattractive due to the relatively low (4-6 %) concentration of CO2, leading to high operating and capital costs. The unique composition of cogeneration flue gas requires innovative materials and process development strategies. The underlying goal of this partnership with Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL), Suncor Energy, InnoTech Alberta, and Fluor Canada Ltd. is the development and de-risking of an adsorption-based technology to capture CO2 from cogeneration flue gas. Through this alliance, some of the largest energy companies in Canada will collaborate to develop technology solutions to reduce their CO2 emissions. Three classes of solid sorbents will be developed by combining experimentation and molecular simulations while addressing process intensification and scale-up challenges. Thus far, no comprehensive study on the development of CO2 adsorption processes from cogeneration flue gas has considered the effects of impurities, scale-up, and process optimization. This research will generate fundamental knowledge from synthesizing novel materials and bench-scale studies to utilize the best sorbents for a long-term, pilot-scale unit. The innovative technologies developed from this study will be readily transferable for commercialization, thereby facilitating environmentally friendly energy production. The study's outcome contributes to the decarbonization of the energy sector and is well-aligned with Canada's vision of net-zero emissions by 2050. The creation of transformative know-how will make the CO2 capture process economically feasible. The research will help train 18 highly qualified personnel (HQP), including 3 PDFs, 4 PhDs, 3 MScs, and 8 Undergraduates, with expertise in GHG control technologies in Canada's natural resource and energy sectors.

能源部门中二氧化碳排放量的显着（> 90％）是由于天然气的有效利用热量和功率（Cogogeneration）的功率和蒸汽产生。由于相对较低（4-6％）的二氧化碳浓度，导致高运营和资本成本高，因此从热电联产烟道气体中捕获大规模CO2的当前技术没有吸引力。热电器气体的独特组成需要创新的材料和过程开发策略。与加拿大自然资源有限公司（CNRL），Suncor Energy，Innotech Alberta和Fluor Canada Ltd.的合作关系的基本目标是基于吸附的技术的开发和危险技术，可从高温烟气中捕获CO2。通过这个联盟，加拿大一些最大的能源公司将合作开发技术解决方案，以减少其二氧化碳排放。将通过将实验和分子模拟结合在一起，同时解决过程加强和扩大挑战，从而开发三类的固体吸附剂。到目前为止，尚未对Cogeneration Flue气体的CO2吸附过程的开发进行全面研究，从而考虑了杂质，扩展和过程优化的影响。这项研究将产生从合成新型材料和台式研究的基本知识，以利用最佳吸附剂作为长期的试验尺度单位。从这项研究开发的创新技术将很容易转移用于商业化，从而促进了环保能源生产。该研究的结果有助于能源部门的脱碳化，并在2050年与加拿大对零零排放的愿景保持一致。创建变革性知识的创建将使CO2捕获过程在经济上可行。这项研究将帮助培训18名高素质的人员（HQP），其中包括3个PDF，4个博士学位，3个MSC和8名本科生，并在加拿大自然资源和能源领域拥有GHG控制技术专业知识。
