Title

Molten salt regeneration for carbon capture and utilization

Challenge

Optimise the molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation technology in order to meet higher sustainability standards

Goal

Accelerating decarbonization by transforming heavy industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) into sustainable carbon nanomaterials and graphite through molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation;
Improve the foundational technology by reusing electrolytes through a high-temperature pressure filtration system and salt regeneration;
Directly contributing to the circular economy as the process closes economic loops in the critical industry of toxic carbon.

Outcome

Improvement of the Molten Salt Carbon Capture method;
Minimize waste in the process, resulting in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production.
