The firm has commercial carbon capture facilities in Switzerland and Iceland, capable of removing roughly 4,000 metric tons of CO 2 each year.Ĭarbon capture technologies have been criticised for the vast amounts of energy and resources required to build them, though Climeworks claims its machines offer one of the only solutions for massive-scale carbon removal. This filter is then heated to close to 100C and then mixed with water in order to be pumped underground into stone storage designed to be kept out of the atmosphere for millenia. It’s reality.”Ĭlimeworks uses giant vacuum-like devices to suck ambient air through a filter that traps massive amounts of CO 2.
POLITO also contributed to training and dissemination activities with special reference to the demo plant in Troia.“This is an important inflection point in the development of direct-air capture,” said Stacy Kauk, head of sustainability at Climeworks customer Shopify. Bompard (electric engineering) coordinated the WP activities on the integration of the PtG technologies in the European scenario, by assessing, also via a prototype application simulator, the impact of the technology over the current electric grid European management in various Countries and Regions. in WP6 (Integration studies) the group of Prof.In addition, through its experimental materials and chemicals analysis equipment POLITO monitored the performance and the degradation of critical materials (catalysts, sorbents) throughout the duration of the demo campaign. Saracco (process engineering) lead unit and process modelling activities tailored to optimize the related design and control activities. in WP4 (demo plant in Troia) the group of Prof.POLITO, a leading Italian technical university, contributed to STORE&GO with two of its areas of expertise: HANZE received a Center of Expertise award for its progress in the field of energy by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in 2012. When conducting this research, the Research Centre Energy utilized and shared resources in the Northern region of the Netherlands, the EU and worldwide. This was achieved through applied research, and high-quality research and testing by professors and PhD students. In STORE&GO HANZE was mainly responsible for market uptake of Methane in the entire PtG production chain depend to a large extent on the efficient integration of the electricity and gas grid. EnTranCe specialized in Power-to- Gas innovation related to grid balancing. the approach of technology, economics, sociology, and environmentology and business management). TROIA also contributed to dissemination activities.ĮnTranCe research centre of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HUAS) is located in Groningen, Assen, Leeuwarden and Amsterdam is recognized as the centre of excellence and fills the gap between application-oriented knowledge in the area of energy (e.g. They engaged technicians to operate the plant during its demonstration. They signed a maintenance and customisation agreement with Hydrogenics (electrolyser manifacturer) to adapt the currently available electroliser to the need of the STORE&GO project. TROIA participated into the STORE&GO project as plant operator. Due to the bottlenecks of the actual electricity grids, these renewable sources are experiencing remarkable curtailments, and that’s the reason why Troia municipality decides to host within their administrative boundaries the INGRID demonstration plant aimed at hydrogen energy storage supporting balance of demand and supply of local distribution system operator (ENEL) while converting the surplus of electricity not consumed locally in hydrogen available for subsequent usages. That is the main motivation for hosting a large share of decentralized wind farm, not to mention as well large PV farms, which are directly connected to the power distribution and transmission network. Troia municipality is situated in one of the most windy Italian areas.
