Project Name | AIRCAP: Advancing Integration and Reactors for Carbon Capture and Conversion |
Project Detail | Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is developing an electrochemical reactor that responds quickly to dynamic changes in renewable energy to work with direct air capture systems. The teams bipolar membrane electrolysis reactor will overcome the common challenges faced by the current state of technology. For example, existing micro-channel bipolar membrane reactors operate at high overpotentials, leading to inefficient energy use. Georgia Tech will integrate activating layers to improve energy efficiency. This reactor can also be integrated with air capture systems, sourcing CO2 directly from air. |
