CO2 Solutions Inc. has received the verified results of its demonstration project at Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, near Montreal, Québec. The demonstration project in Valleyfield operated successfully for a total of more than 2,500 hours. Among the highlights noted:

• The corporation’s proprietary enzyme, 1T1, performed in a stable manner

• No toxic waste products were generated

• Solvent consumption was negligible

• The demonstration unit was in large part operated autonomously (i.e. did not require a dedicated operator)

• The technology produced CO2 suitable for food, beverages and other reuse applications

• The use of low-grade, nil value heat for solvent regeneration at low-temperature was accomplished, demonstrating this innovative method of operating cost savings

The corporation contracted with Tetra Tech, Inc. for an independent review of the project data related to the mass and energy balances. This review allowed the corporation to confirm core process capture costs for a 1,250 tonne-CO2/day (tpd) scale of $28/tonne, in line with earlier published estimates. This cost is below the proposed Alberta carbon tax and below the United States Department of Energy’s target for new carbon capture processes. In this regard, to the knowledge of the corporation, its technology has achieved the lowest demonstrated cost in the industry for a post-combustion carbon capture application, by a significant margin.

“The completion of the project and the independent engineering review confirm the low cost and environmentally sustainable nature of our technology, both of which are key differentiators in our industry. We have now proven the robustness and operability of our technology in a real-life, industrial-scale setting, which puts applications for carbon mitigation and beneficial reuse of CO2 squarely in our sights. These results will now be used to move forward prospective customer and partner opportunities currently under discussion,” said Evan Price, president and CEO of CO2 Solutions.

CO2 Solutions intends to present full results of its demonstration project at upcoming international conferences in the carbon capture field.
