Solving for Solvents: How International Partnerships are Enhancing the Solvents Needed for CCS

Through its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from industrial gases before it has the chance to impact the atmosphere, solvents play a key role in CCS, particularly in post-combustion CO2 capture. However, solvents can degrade overtime, which can impact its efficacy. The LAUNCH Project, which recently concluded, was a three year initiative involving global partners and researchers that aimed to assess and bring light to that issue. Listen in as we speak with Peter van Os, project coordinator of LAUNCH and senior project manager at TNO, on the key findings of the project.
