SUPERVAL

𝗦𝗨stainable 𝗣hoto-𝗘lect𝗥ochemical 𝗩𝗔𝗟orization of fluent gases. 🏭 Transforming carbon and nitrogen emissions into valuable resources. Limiting post-combustion emissions is one of the most urgent actions for environmental remediation. However, capture technologies face multiple challenges mostly due to the low concentration of pollutants, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) or nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), making them highly inefficient. Additionally, even if successful, there are very few plausible uses for the captured pollutants, apart from long-term geological storage. In the pursuit of a more sustainable future, SUPERVAL’s primary objective is to address these challenges simultaneously, investigating the viability of a technology capable of transforming the treatment of post-combustion gases to unlock the potential of carbon and nitrogen components by separating and transforming them into valuable resources. The SUPERVAL technology will optimize and expand this strategy to the capture of the contaminants (CO₂ and NOₓ) from flue gas to convert them into added-value commodities for the chemical industry using exclusively renewable power sources from photovoltaics. All implemented in a single, autonomous installation, to be validated in an industrial environment. To ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the SUPERVAL project, techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment studies will be conducted. These studies will contribute to refining the performance and components of the technology, solidifying its position as a crucial advancement in achieving zero net emissions.
