Advanced Integrated Reticular Sorbent-Coated System to Capture CO<sub>2</sub> from the Atmosphere (AIR2CO2)

GE Research Center (GRC) and the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) executed an 15-month, $1.0 MM program to develop a lab-scale material system to extract CO2 from ambient air using UCB’s pioneering sorbent technology and GRC’s composite coating expertise. The primary objective of this project was to develop an “Advanced Integrated Reticular Sorbent-Coated System to Capture CO2 from the Atmosphere (AIR2CO2)” at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3. The AIR2CO2 concept relies on two key innovations: 1) advanced sorbent architectures with high capacity and rapid sorption kinetics that enable effective CO2 capture at low concentrations, and 2) tailored MOF-binder slurry formulations and coating processes that enable sorbent integration into a novel additively-manufactured contactor.
