RealCapt
Decarbonation of Wallonia’s heavy industry
RealCapt is included in the DECARBOWAL group of projects, where the CRUCIAL project cluster aims to reduce the carbon footprint of Wallonia. The acronym inspired by the objective to induce “CiRcUlarité du CO2 : Innovation et Rôle Pionnier de la WALlonie” highlights our region is aiming to be at the forefront of new carbon reduction technologies. Especially at the support of its industry and this through two main ways:
- Source reduction of CO2 industrial emissions
- Development of de-fossilized fuels type e-fuels
Technical challenges
The RealCapt part of CRUCIAL – DECARBOWAL focusses on CO2 capture by means of solid adsorption technology. It tests the most promising adsorbent material identified by University partners, especially those developed by UMons within the SORBINNOV project. RealCapt upscales this to pilot scale and industrially close conditions. The trials are realized in conditions identified as the most advantageous based on the adsorbent and the application. Industrial application perspectives will be established in collaboration with industrial partners.
In practice this means trials of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA), Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA), or mixed adsorption cycles (TPSA) are performed on the HUGE Pilot, using industrial relevant conditions for CO2 capture.
