Cormetech has said it will increase the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured through its direct air capture (DAC) operations by upgrading its DAC contactor, the engine of its DAC system.
The US-based company on Thursday (16th July) said it had been selected for an award from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to support the move.
If successful, the improved contactor will maximise the amount of CO2 captured from the atmosphere, while reducing the amount of energy needed to operate.
Welcoming the support from DOE, Mike Mattes, Cormetech’s CEO, said, “Cormetech is very excited about this award, which will allow us to continue developing CO2 Capture technology with amine-based adsorbers DAC systems.”
