Summary
Our team has developed efficient CO2(2下標) capture, conversion, and reuse technology by combining chemical absorption with microalgae-based capture. This allows us to turn atmospheric CO2(2下標) into biochar for lithium-ion battery anodes. Producing 1 ton of anode material captures about 11.37 tons of CO2(2下標) annually.
Scientific Breakthrough
CO₂ capture systems have been built at both lab (3 tons/year) and demo plant (30 tons/year) scales. Chemical absorption produces CO₂-derived products for ton-scale microalgae cultivation. Energy-efficient drying reduces microalgae water activity to below 0.6. Optimized electrode formulations maintain over 400 mAh/g after 50 charge-discharge cycles.
Industrial Applicability
High-gravity rotating bed technology captures CO₂ and produces bicarbonates for microalgae cultivation, which can be turned into biofertilizer for higher reuse. Energy-efficient dewatering cuts drying energy use and mold risk. Microalgae biochar can replace graphite in lithium-ion battery anodes. Multiple technology transfers have accelerated industrialization.
