Zvitsva zvekambani ye tekinoroji yemamiriro ekunze zvinoshandura kabhoni dhayokisaidhi nemvura kuita mamorekuru epuratifomu anochengetedza nguva dzose ekushandisa mukurima, simba uye kutakura.
RICHLAND, Wash., Mbudzi 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Kambani itsva yekuchinja carbon OCOchem yaunganidza mari inosvika mamiriyoni mashanu emadhora kubva kuvaridzi vemari vanotungamira. INPEX Corp. yakatorawo chikamu muchirongwa ichi. (IPXHF.NaE), Hofisi yeMhuri yeLCY Lee neMIH Capital Management. Varidzi vemari vanobatana neHalliburton Labs, Halliburton's (NYSE: HAL) energy and climate technology accelerator, vachitsigira kukura kweOCOchem kutanga muna 2021.
Ichishandisa tekinoroji yayo, kambani iyi iri muRichland, Washington iri kushambadzira nzira itsva yekushandura kabhoni dioxide (CO2), mvura nemagetsi akachena nemagetsi kuita formic acid uye maformates, nokudaro ichigadzira mamorekuru epuratifomu akasiyana-siyana asina kabhoni. Makemikoro akasiyana-siyana, zvinhu nemafuta akagadzirwa kubva kumahydrocarbons akagadzirwa nemafuta ekare zvino anogona kugadzirwa nenzira inogara kwenguva refu uye isingadhuri uchishandisa iyi molecule yekuvaka.
OCOchem ichashandisa mari itsva yakawanikwa kuwedzera tekinoroji yayo yekushandura kabhoni kusvika pakukura kwemaindasitiri uye kutanga fekitori yekuedza yekuratidzira mashandiro ebhizinesi. Vagadziri vemaindasitiri, vesimba nevekurima vanogona kutenga formic acid ne formate salts zvinogadzirwa vachishandisa tekinoroji yeOCOchem yekuderedza simba re kabhoni muzvigadzirwa zvezuva nezuva, kubva pakudya nefiber kusvika kumafuta nefetereza, nemutengo wakafanana kana wakaderera pane zvigadzirwa zvakafanana zvinogadzirwa ne petrochemicals.
"Tichishandisa tekinoroji yeOCOchem nemagetsi akachena, ikozvino tinogona kuita zvakaitwa nemiti nemiti kwemabhiriyoni emakore - kushandisa simba rakachena kushandura carbon dioxide nemvura kuita mamorekuru anobatsira eorganic. Asi kusiyana nephotosynthesis, tinogona kufamba nekukurumidza, kushandisa ivhu rakawanda." "Zvinobudirira uye nemutengo wakaderera," akadaro mumwe muvambi uye CEO weOCOchem Todd Brix. "
Joshua Fitoussi, Managing Partner weTO VC, akati: “Tinofara kuti electrochemistry iri kuunza nzira itsva yeindasitiri sezvo mutengo wesimba rinogona kudzokororwa uchiramba uchidzikira. Pakupedzisira, tinogona kugadzira hupfumi hwekabhoni hwakatenderera, uko CO2 inodzokororwa inova chigadzirwa chinogona kugadzirwa zviri nyore uye chikafu chinodhura zvakanyanya chemakemikari akawanda akakosha kuhupfumi hwepasi rose. OCOchem iri pamberi pekuchinja uku, ichitsanangura patsva maonerwo anoitwa CO2 uye kugadzira zvigadzirwa zvakakosha kubva mairi. Sechigadzirwa chekutanga, green formic acid imorekuru inonakidza zvikuru nekuti ine mashandisirwo akawanda mumisika yekurima neyemaindasitiri iripo, pamwe nemisika yemangwana yekuchengetedza nekutakura yeCO2 nehydrogen. TO VC inodada kushanda pamwe neOCOchem kuti iite basa rayo rekuisa mafuta efossil muvhu kuti rive rechokwadi.”
Pamusoro pekudyara mari mukambani iyi, INPEX, kambani huru muJapan yekutsvaga, kugadzira nekugadzira mafuta negasi, yakabatana neOCOchem kuti vaongorore mikana yekushandira pamwe vachishandisa tekinoroji yekambani iyi kutakura carbon dioxide nehydrogen yakachena.
"Ichishandisa simba rinogona kudzokororwa, tekinoroji yeOCOChem inoshandura mvura necarbon dioxide kuita formic acid, iyo inogara yakagadzikana mumamiriro ekunze. Formic acid inogonawo kushandurwa kuita zvikamu zvinobatsira zvecarbon nehydrogen zvine simba shoma. Izvi zvakakosha nekuti pasi rose rinogona kushandisa zvivakwa zviripo zvekugovera mvura pasi rose kutakura carbon dioxide nehydrogen sezvinwiwa zvine makemikari pakupisa kwekunze uye kumanikidzwa, zvichipa nzira yakachengeteka uye isingadhuri," akadaro CEO weNew Business Development Shigeru. Thode wekuINPEX.
Brix anoti OCOchem haingochinji chete kabhoni dhayokisaidhi kuita chimwe chinhu chinobatsira, asiwo inoderedza mari yekuwedzera yesimba uye utsi hunokonzerwa nekubvisa kabhoni kubva pasi, kuitakura kure uye kuigadzirisa pakupisa kwakanyanya uye kumanikidzwa. "Mukushandiswa kwedu kwakanangana, kutsiva kabhoni diki sechinhu chekudya nekabhoni inogona kudzokororwa kunogona kuderedza utsi hwekabhoni pasi rose neanopfuura 10% uye kuita kuti kugadzirwa kwemakemikari akakosha, mafuta nezvinhu zvive nyore munharaunda. Zvinenge zvigadzirwa zvese zvinogadzirwa, zvinodyiwa kana kushandiswa zvinoenderana nekabhoni. Takagadzirira. Dambudziko harisi kabhoni, asi kabhoni inobviswa kubva mu geosphere, iyo inokanganisa kuenzana kwekabhoni mumhepo yepasi, mumakungwa nemuvhu. Nekubvisa kabhoni mumhepo uye kubata utsi, tinogona kugadzira hupfumi hwekabhoni hwakatenderera hunoderedza utsi uku tichigadzira zvigadzirwa zvakagadzirwa nekabhoni izvo nyika yedu inoda kuti zvibudirire."
Brix akati rutsigiro kubva kuboka repasi rose revanoisa mari muindasitiri nevatinoshanda navo rwunotsigira zvakasimba kushandiswa kukuru kwetekinoroji yeOCOchem yekugadzirisa carbonization mumaindasitiri mazhinji, simba nekurima. "Chinangwa chedu ndechekuita kuti nyika igamuchire tekinoroji yedu kwete chete nekuti haina njodzi kune zvakatipoteredza, asiwo nekuti isarudzo yakachengeteka, ine hutano uye inodhura zvishoma. Mari iyi inotibvumira kuvaka timu yedu, kuwedzera tekinoroji yedu uye kuwedzera hukama hwedu kuti tipe mabhizinesi akawanda nzira dzakachena uye dzakachipa dzekuderedza utsi hunopisa."
Tekinoroji itsva yeOCOchem inobatsira kubvisa kabhoni pasi rose nekugadzira zvigadzirwa uchishandisa kabhoni nemvura yakadzokororwa panzvimbo pemafuta efossil anoburitswa senzvimbo yekabhoni nehydrogen. Chigadzirwa chekambani ichi chinoshandura kabhoni, chinonzi OCOchem Carbon FluX electrolyser, chinogona kuvakwa uye kuiswa chero pachiyero chipi zvacho.
OCOchem ikambani itsva yetekinoroji iri kutengesa tekinoroji yayo ine patent yekushandura kabhoni dioxide nemvura nemagetsi kuita mamorekuru anogara kwenguva refu ayo anogona kushandiswa kugadzira mamwe makemikari, mafuta nezvinhu zvakachena, zvinosanganisira hydrogen yakachena, yakaparadzirwa. OCOchem yakavhurwa mukupera kwa2020 uye inoshanda nemabasa ayo ekutanga ekutsvagisa nekugadzira marabhoritari uye kugadzira muRichland, Washington. Gore rakapera kambani iyi yakagadzira electrolyser yakakura kwazvo pasi rose yekabhoni dioxide. Kuti uwane rumwe ruzivo, shanyira www.ocochem.com.
TO VC inotsigira mapoka akakosha ari kugadzirisa matambudziko akanyanya kuomera pasi rose. TO VC ikambani yekutanga yekubvisa kabhoni mumakambani ekugadzira zvinhu zvinokanganisa mamiriro ekunze, inoisa mari mumakambani ezvekudya, masisitimu esimba uye kubvisa kabhoni. TO VC Managing Partners Arie Mimran naJoshua Fitoussi vanotenda kuti idzi ndidzo nzvimbo nhatu dzine simba rekugadzira zvinhu zvitsva kuti pave ne net-zero greenhouse gas emissions panosvika 2050 uye kudzoreredza chiyero pakati pehutano hwevanhu nehwepasi. TO VC inotenda kuti makambani makuru emangwana achava makambani ezvemamiriro ekunze, uye makambani anokwezva zvikuru nhasi ndeaya ane chinangwa chekugadzirisa shanduko yemamiriro ekunze.
