Abstract
The European Union’s Innovation Fund will put a total of more than $1.2 billion into seven decarbonization efforts across the continent, including a carbon-capture-and-sequestration (CCS) project at BASF’s chemical complex in Antwerp, Belgium . That project, dubbed Kairos@C, will install partner company Air Liquide’s Cryocap cryogenic carbon-capture technology, as well as infrastructure to pump the carbon dioxide into permanent undersea storage. Over 10 years starting in 2025, the firms say, they will sequester 14.2 million metric tons of CO 2 beneath the North Sea. Though not as common today as systems that catch CO2 in amine solvents , cryogenic carbon capture is an up-and-coming technology. The Cryocap platform planned for the Antwerp complex is already in use at Air Liquide’s hydrogen plant in Port-Jérôme-sur-Seine, France, where the firm says it has been making low-carbon H 2 since 2015. The BASF–Air Liquide project will lower the activation barrier for more CCS
