2022 Spring Meeting and 18th Global Congress on Process Safety Proceedings
Topical 6: 22nd Topical Conference on Gas Utilization
Conversion of Syngas II
Wednesday, April 13, 2022 - 10:15am to 10:45am
Some of the key highlights of CARGEN⢠technologyâs demonstrated performance are: (a) Ability to convert at least 65% CO2 at 50% less energy compared to standalone DRM process. (b) Co-production of CNTs and Syngas, which are products of high value and demand. (c) At least 40% reduction in CO2 footprint and operational costs compared to commercial reforming technologies. (d) A possibility to integrate into existing gas processing infrastructure with an attractive economic and sustainability incentive.
In this presentation, we present the pioneering journey of CARGEN⢠technology from its theoretical conceptualization to experimental proof, and to the scale-up from micro-grams of CNT production to multi-grams. The talk will also highlight the results of life cycle assessment (LCA) and a preliminary techno-economic evaluation to demonstrate the sustainability and economics benefits that can be achieved upon implementation of CARGEN⢠technology.
This work was a part of a mega-project (NPRP-X 100-2-024), and Responsive Research Seed Grant (RRSG) focused on addressing DRM challenges from micro to macro scale.
