CO 2 capture
CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CSIR-CECRI) in Karaikudi has found a technology to capture the polluting Carbon-di-oxide (CO 2) from thermal power plant flue gas. The know-how has been transferred to Summits Hygronics in Coimbatore. This technology find its applications in thermal power plants, submarines, biogas enrichment, automotive sector and direct air capturing in highly polluted cities, thereby minimising CO 2 concentration and global warming. The captured CO 2 can also be converted into value-added industrially important chemicals like methanol, formic acid and adipic acid. This technology is in alignment with one of the United Nation’s “Sustainable Development Goals on Climate Action” (SDG 13) and Government of India’s mission on “Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS).”
