1
Industrial CO 2 capture using a natural process
2
Our atmosphere is warming up One more type of air pollution 1.Toxic gas pollution (acid rain) Industries, local impacts 2.Ozone layer depletion (CFC) Industries and households, regional impacts 3.Air temperature is rising (Greenhouse gases) Industries, transports, agriculture, homes, individuals Global impacts on nature and humans Greenhouse Gases (GHG) –Carbon dioxyde (CO 2 ) –Methane (CH 4 ) –N 2 O, HFCs, SF 6 and other synthetic gases –Water vapor (H 2 O), non anthropogenic
3
Nature is hurt by Climate Change Nature itself wants to negotiate CO 2 is the most abundant GHG NEW !! Nature can help human beings –To capture and sequestrate CO 2 –In order to slow down global warming Sustainable Development technologies –Alternative to reduce the amount of GHG emitted in the atmosphere
4
Nature does capture CO 2 Forests inhale atmospheric CO 2 –Not enough trees for man-made CO 2 CO 2 capture in human muscles –Cellular CO 2 transformed into bicarbonate –Carbonic anhydrase enzyme A new industrial bio-catalyst –Genetically engineered enzyme –Allows industrial CO 2 capture
5
A powerful bio-catalyst manufactured through genetic engeneering Human Carbonic Anhydrase type II (267 amino- acids) C 1374 H 2600 N 368 O 652 S 7 - Zn
6
Massive CO 2 capture Your Car 1.Sensible driving immediate 2.Switch fuel Mid-term 3.Catalytic muffler Significant 4.Hybride car Long-term An Industrial Plant 1.Fine tuning –immediate 2.Switch fuel –Mid-term 3.CO 2 capture –Significant 4.New design –Long-term
7
A successful demonstration CO 2 capture at a large municipal waste incinerator (Quebec City) CO 2 Solution’s Industrial prototype –5 weeks non-stop, 7/24 –50% CO 2 capture –Permanent sequestration Sound basis for larger scale-up
8
Column packing with bio-catalyst
9
CO 2 Solution Inc. offers an innovative alternative CO 2 gas is converted into an unharmful aqueous by-product, inside the reactor Low energy process Captured Carbon can be recycled
10
Sustainable Development CO 2 Solution’s bio-catalysis treatment unit: –instantaneously converts harmful CO 2 gas –into unharmful bicarbonate ion (HCO 3 -- ) solution Offers flexible alternatives for CO 2 sequestration Fossil carbon for energy production can be reused for chemicals
11
Industrial CO 2 Capture Clean Energy production –Coal thermal plants - electricity –Natural gas reformers – hydrogen –Boilers for industrial processes – fossil carbon dependancy Industrial process CO 2 emissions –Lime factories –Steel furnaces –Cement kilns –Biogas – « waste to energy »
12
At the end of the process CO 2 capture system
13
CO 2 Solution ’s Bio-catalysis Technology platform combination –Genetic engineering – bio-catalyst –Large scale biochemistry process –Traditional gas purification technologies The power of bio-catalysis –Low cost catalyst manufacture –High CO 2 conversion rate –Bio-catalyst durability
14
Biochemical CO 2 capture First commercially available biochemical process Overcomes chemical catalyst limitations A sustainable development technology CO 2 Solution inc. offers A powerful tool for adressing climate change challenges
15
CO 2 Solution Inc. Contact: Jo Lanoë Vice president, business development CO 2 Solution Inc. 2300, rue Jean-Perrin Quebec, QC, G2C 1T9 Canada (+1) (418) 842-3456, ext. 203 Jo.lanoe@co2solution.com CO 2 Solution, a partner of choice in climate changes
