- Performance Work Statement PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT Carbon Mitigation: In-situ Studies of CO2 Capture A. BACKGROUND: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Ceramics Division is currently developing a project on materials for carbon mitigation for application to clean coal technologies. One particular area of interest pertains to carbon dioxide capture from the coal-fired power plant smokestack. As we know, global warming is responsible for massive negative changes to our environment, such as violent weather and rising sea levels. Capturing of CO2 through the use of appropriate sorbents could mitigate these effects, thereby resulting in global peace and prosperity. Currently, more than 33% of global CO2 emissions are from coal-fired power plants, which represent the largest point source of CO2. Before carbon dioxide can be sequestered from power plants and other stationary sources, the CO2 in these exhaust gases must be captured and concentrated. Carbon mitigation technology has three components: capture, transportation, and sequestration. Carbon capture is the most energy intensive and costly component of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), estimated to represent about 75 % of the total cost. The largest cause of efficiency reduction observed in carbon capture technology is the energy required to regenerate the amine solution presently used as the CO2 sorbent material. Mid-term to long-term opportunities to lower capture costs via improved performance could come from the development of energy efficient membranes and mesoporous solid sorbents. In that light, the development of a series of metrologies for a systematic sorbent performance analysis, and the construction of a physico-chemical property/performance database would be the key enablers to screen, select, and design energy efficient solid sorbent materials for carbon capture applications. The objective of this work is two fold: (1) to develop in situ measurement techniques such as high pressure X-ray diffraction (HP-XRD) integrated with evolved gas analysis (EGA), and high pressure thermal gravimetric analysis (HP-TGA) integrated with evolved gas analysis (EGA), and combine them to address the need for: (i) metrologies related to CO2 adsorption/desorption performance evaluation of sorbent materials (with emphasis on zeolites, metal-organic framework (MOF's) materials, etc.)) and (ii) a physico-chemical property/performance database for sorbent materials. The successful development of these metrologies and property databases would accelerate the development of low cost carbon capture technologies; (2) in collaborations with NETL, begin to acquire information and data to bridge the critical knowledge gaps in terms of metrology, standards, and other key issues needed to advance the scientific foundations for lowering the overall cost of CCS.
