Bergen Carbon Solutions is a company transforming CO2 into a valuable resource by using renewable energy to convert excess greenhouse gas into solid, versatile industrial raw materials. The carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology developed by Bergen has the potential to deliver a stable supply of carbon nanotubes and graphite, and also reduce manufacturers' exposure to geopolitical risks associated with raw material sourcing.
Myno is a startup focusing on carbon removal and the production of biochar through pyrolysis. By converting timber and agricultural waste into biochar, a carbon-negative material, Myno plays a key role in addressing climate change. Biochar has a wide range of applications, including soil amendment, fertilizer, and even animal feed to reduce methane emissions. This process captures carbon and generates renewable energy, making biochar production a clean and sustainable process.
Brineworks is a startup developing a seawater electrolysis technology that extracts hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the ocean to create sustainable e-fuel feedstock. This system produces green CO2 and hydrogen without relying on precious metals, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution. Unlike conventional electrodialysis methods, Brineworks’ electrolyzer produces the required acid and base more efficiently, while simultaneously generating large volumes of green hydrogen, a critical component for producing low-carbon fuels.
The poster presents the Introduction of Carbon Capture/Sequestration that includes the Definition/Description of the concept and its History and Development.
Other team members are Mercie Hodges, Jean Pierre, and Daniel LachosPerez who worked on the advantages, disadvantages/challenges, and examples of successful applications of carbon capture and its relation to green and sustainable chemistry.
