Technology Overview
The TGE system is a compact stackable modular system for capturing CO2. Each module is capable of capturing 320 tonne of CO2 per annum.
- Extraordinary affinity to CO2: The used porous materials have an extraordinary affinity to CO2 allowing the efficient adsorption of CO2 from the atmosphere.
- The materials are not consumed: Materials are regenerated under mild conditions during the CO2 recovery process.
- Non-Toxic: Materials are non-corrosive and environment-friendly.
- Low operational and capital costs: Based on realistic energy prices, the system has the capability to capture 320 tonne net of CO2 at lower than published benchmark costs for such processes
- Modular: Number of units scales linearly with the desired CO2 capture quantity.
Deployment Scenarios
Until all grid power generation is achieved via renewable resources, incorporating carbon capture into efficient natural gas power generation systems (e.g. NGCC) would remove accountability for grid carbon emissions and scenarios 2, 3 and 4 would all involve net capture rates of 320 tonne/year. Scenarios relate to Irish Emissions.
Scenario 1 – Green Electricity and Energy Sources
- Green energy sources used to power system components.
- The CO2 emissions related to the capture are equal to 0 tonnes.
- Net capture is: 320 tonne/year.
Scenario 2 – National Grid and Industrial Waste Heat Energy
- Assumes using water-to-water heat pump to harvest waste heat.
- Net capture of CO2 is: 119 tonne/year (2017) and 254 tonne/year (2030)
Scenario 3 – National Grid and Air Heat Energy
- Assumes using air heat pump to harvest heat energy; lower COP than Scenario 2.
- Net capture of CO2 is: 96 tonne/year (2017) and 246 tonne/year (2030)
Scenario 4 – National Grid and Electric Heating
- Assumes electricity from the grid provides all the energy needs.
- Net capture of CO2 is: –30 tonne/year (2017) and 205 tonne/year (2030)
