Air Liquide will be a key technology partner for a carbon capture demonstration project and front-end engineering design study funded by the US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations. OCED’s Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Programme seeks to address the urgent need to deploy carbon management technologies. The goal of the Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Programme is to accelerate the implementation of integrated carbon capture and storage technologies and catalyse significant follow-on investments from the private sector to mitigate carbon emissions sources in industries across America.
Air Liquide’s CryocapTM FG carbon capture technology has been selected by the Southern States Energy Board for a demonstration at the Ash Grove Foreman Cement Plant, in Foreman, Arkansas. The technology will capture and purify up to 95 percent of the carbon dioxide generated by the cement plant. This project, one of eight selected by the DOE to receive funding, aims to decarbonise cement manufacturing, an industrial process traditionally considered as hard to abate. In focusing on cement production decarbonisation, Air Liquide adds to its industrial carbon capture project pipeline. In 2022, Air Liquide was awarded 4 other carbon capture FEED studies for projects across the US.
Decarbonising industrial processes and providing sustainable technology solutions is integral to Air Liquide’s strategic mission. Among Air Liquide’s portfolio of sustainable solutions is CryocapTM, a suite of carbon capture solutions. CryocapTM product range uses a cryogenic process combined with proprietary membrane separation and/or pressure-swing adsorption technologies, and can be adapted to specific industrial applications such as cement manufacturing, hydrogen production, refinery, steel, and power generation.
Air Liquide is committed to driving a more sustainable industry through the utilisation of innovative, sustainable technologies that reduce CO2 emissions in industrial processes, like cement manufacturing. As the clean energy economy of the future is developing, carbon capture technology offers one of the pathways today towards greater decarbonisation for industry.
