Project description:

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and utilization (CCU) are among the most urgent technologies needed to tackle the climate change and establish a carbon-neutral circular economies.

The project METAMORPH will overcome limitations of current solutions by simultaneous carbon capture and photocatalysis. CO2 permeable polymeric membranes (UJEP) will be combined with the state-of-the are CO2 capture materials (UCT) and CO2 photocatalytic materials (SINTEF) into one easily deployable membrane-based system (InoCure). The membranes will then be incorporated into the photoreactors and the effectiveness of the METAMORPH membranes will be tested in simulated industrial settings. Finally, technology’s life-cycle analysis will be performed to ensure scalability and economic feasibility of the METAMORPH.
