Being more energy-efficient during carbon capture
Carbyon was determined to make their process for direct air capture of CO2 more energy-efficient. They asked for ExoMatter’s support in identifying inorganic materials that would not have a higher energy demand than <1000 kWh/t CO2. ExoMatter provided quantum-chemical simulation data for almost 5,000 materials, leveraging the result of ~10 Mio. CPU-hours by scientists around the world. Machine Learning was used for solubility calculations.
“We were impressed to receive first results less than a month after the kick-off. This is a tremendous way to speed up materials research.”
Hans De Neve
CEO
90 new materials candidates were identified, saving Carbyon 6-12 months of laboratory work. Some of the identified materials had an energy demand of less than 150 kWh/t CO2.
