Bright Renewables will build a carbon capture and CO2<\/sub> liquefaction system for EnergieWerk Ilg GmbH in Dornbirn, Austria. Carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) from the waste gas of EnergieWerk\u2019s wood-fired power plant will be captured and liquefied for a wide range of industrial uses. The system is to be commissioned at the end of July 2025 and is expected to reduce the plant\u2019s CO2<\/sub> emissions by approximately 80%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CO2 capture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EnergieWerk Ilg GmbH, an energy company and producer of biochar, operates a wood-fired heat and power plant that incorporates CHP (Combined Heat and Power) to generate green electricity and heat. The plant emits 2,500 Nm3 of flue gas per hour, part of which is CO2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright Renewables\u2019 modular built carbon capture system CarboPac-C will capture and liquefy 600kg\/hr of this CO2<\/sub>. The process will generate 3.7 kilotons per year of high-purity, food-grade bioCO2<\/sub>, which can be sold to the food and beverage industry, replacing CO\u2082 from fossil sources. BioCO2<\/sub> is a valuable end-product that can be used across industries for many applications. The CO2<\/sub>-neutral carbonic acid for the beverage industry actively contributes to climate protection. Another goal is use in building materials where CO2 <\/sub>can be stored permanently and represents a carbon sink (CCS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CO\u2082 capture project makes it possible to separate biogenic CO\u2082 from the flue gases of the biomass heat and power plant. Bright Renewables uses both amine-based carbon capture technology and Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) technology to separate CO2<\/sub> from flue gas. Both technologies are applicable for the addition of CO2 <\/sub>liquefaction technology and both technologies have a high yield of gaseous CO2<\/sub>. In this Austrian project, amine-based technology is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small footprint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The carbon capture system and CO2<\/sub> liquefier will be installed on the roof of EnergieWerk Ilg\u2019s existing facility, reducing its footprint and the use of (costly) land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Julia Ilg of EnergieWerk Ilg GmbH<\/strong>, said: \u201cSustainability is at the core of what we do. This carbon capture and CO2<\/sub>liquefaction plant will help us to reduce our annual greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 4,000 tons of fossil CO2<\/sub>. This is a major step towards our goal to operate in an ecologically and economically sustainable manner so that we can protect nature while securing a future worth living for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivan\u00a0Derkink\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b, Sales\u00a0Manager at Bright Renewables<\/strong>, said: \u201cCarbon capture allows district heating and other combustion plants to reduce CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions, resulting in carbon neutral or carbon negative production. It is an essential add-on for companies aiming to make their combustion processes cleaner and more sustainable. We\u2019re proud to implement this plant for EnergieWerk Ilg, who are pioneers in sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

CO2 liquefaction: natural refrigerant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because of Bright\u2019s sustainability ambitions, carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant during the CO2<\/sub>\u00a0liquefaction process, replacing traditional synthetic refrigerants such as Freon or Ammonia. CO2<\/sub>\u00a0is a natural refrigerant that is environmentally friendly and safe. This technology enhances the liquefaction efficiency, reducing operational expenses and increasing bioCO2<\/sub>\u00a0production capabilities. The use of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0optimises energy consumption, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
