OBJECTIVE
CAPTUS project aims to demonstrate sustainable and cost-effective pathways to produce high-added value renewable energy carriers in energy-intensive industries by valorising industrial carbon emissions and integrating renewable electricity surplus.
For this purpose, CAPTUS will demonstrate 3 cost-effective pathways at 3 demo sites and will perform renewable energy carriers (REC) upgrading studies and quality assessment.
TIMELINE
The project, initiated in June 2023, is set to present
its final results in May 2027

ROLE OF APRIA
Electrochemical reactor scale-up
The role of Apria in the CAPTUS project includes the engineering of Demonstrable 3 “Electrochemical reduction ofCO2 to produce formic acid in a cement plant” with the 1x100 scale-up of the electroreduction unit (ERCO2) and its subsequent integration with the capture unit (CSAR) in a pilot to be validated at the Cementos Portland Valderrivas plant (Mataporquera, Cantabria).
CONSORTIUM
CAPTUS is assembled by a consortium of 18 partners from 8 countries
