Coastal Bend LNG LLC and Solvanic Inc. have kick-started a front-end engineering and design (FEED) examine for electrochemically mediated amine regeneration (EMAR) carbon seize on the Coastal Bend liquefied pure fuel (LNG) facility.
Solvanic has signed an possibility settlement to be used of the EMAR know-how, initially developed by Professor T. Alan Hatton’s analysis group on the Massachusetts Institute of Expertise (MIT) Division of Chemical Engineering, Coastal Bend LNG stated in a media launch.
The know-how makes use of an electrochemical technique to launch carbon dioxide (CO2) captured by amines utilizing electrical energy, quite than the standard high-temperature steam utilized in thermal amine techniques, the LNG developer stated. This novel method lowers power consumption and capital prices for carbon seize, providing larger flexibility throughout varied working situations and scales, it claimed.

“To ship on our bold low-carbon-intensity LNG targets, we have to seize carbon dioxide emissions from each our pure fuel pretreatment and cogeneration services”, Nick Flores, Chief Government Officer of Coastal Bend LNG, stated. “For post-combustion seize on our onsite cogeneration services, we want a step change in carbon seize effectivity. We’re extremely inspired by Solvanic’s preliminary techno-economics and are eager to speed up their know-how readiness with this FEED examine”.
Researchers Dr. Michael Massen-Hane and Dr. Michael Nitzsche co-founded Solvanic to commercialize the know-how.
“We’ve demonstrated our EMAR resolution to Expertise Readiness Degree 4 with low energetics, excessive stability, and modular scalability throughout emission sources”, Nitzsche, Chief Expertise Officer at Solvanic, stated. “This FEED examine accelerates our techno-economic analyses for fuel processing and post-combustion carbon seize with the complete engineering assist of Coastal Bend LNG and their contractors”.
“We’re leveraging over a decade of electrochemical carbon seize analysis and improvement at MIT through this feature settlement”, Massen-Hane, Chief Government Officer of Solvanic, added.
