Demonstrating energy intensive industry-integrated solutions to produce liquid renewable energy carriers from CAPTUred carbon emissionS (CAPTUS)
- Funding: Horizon Europe
- Call: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D3-02-05
- Project code: 101118265
- Budget: 11,500,000.00 €
- Period: June 2023 – May 2027

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 involves the engineering process for the scale-up of a reactor for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction (ERCO2); consecutively, its integration with a continuous swing adsorption reactor (CSAR); and finally, the installation and commissioning of the integrated technology in a Cement plant.
This technology will be implemented as the carbon capture solution for the production of formic acid.
CONSORTIUM
CAPTUS is assembled by a consortium of 18 partners from 8 countries
