Carbon capture and storage - one of the most important engineering challenges
commercializing a new carbon capture process
I am seeking advice on how to commercialize a new method of carbon capture. This is a significant development and has experimental verification. It is a new carbon capture cycle and process. I can not release details other than to say that we can capture CO2 for very low energy from air and gas streams. The process is very commercially viable - even in the current low price carbon market. I am particularly interested in who and who not to work with.

Perhaps you can reveal what the specific energy is likely to be (ie GJ/t CO2)? This will give me an idea of whether it is likely to be competitive.

164 kwh/ton of CO2 removed from air, expect to be able to improve this significantly. From waste gas stream: anticipate below 5 kwh/ ton of CO2 removed. Both energy values are for closed cycle processes.

Those energy numbers seem very low (unrealistically so). Most solvent scrubbing processes would have energies between 3 -4 GJ/t. Technology I am working on has energy requirements of about 1 GJ/t. Your energy of 5 kWh/t equates to 0.018GJ/t which is less than the theoretical minimum value (from second law analysis) to go from 12% to 100% CO2. That value is 0.172 GJ/t.
