CCU: Bio-CO2 Capture & Utilization for horticulture

  • Project Description

    This is where the world’s first commercial Carbon Capture installation for horticulture has been provided by Green Gas & Liquids B.V. (previously Frames Group B.V.). Flue gases from the biomass-fired boiler are directed to the Galloxol® system for efficient Carbon capture. The obtained pure CO2 (99.9%) is utilized in greenhouses to enhance photosynthesis and increase yields. Any excess CO2 is stored in storage balloons and transported for further use via a ventilator.

    Poroject Lead: Green Gas & Liquids B.V. (previously Frames Group B.V.)

  • Technological Details

    CO2 capture/Utilization: Galloxol® employs an established process technology based on accelerated salt technology. The chosen solvent is biodegradable and ensures safety. This technology efficiently captures CO2 from flue gases through an absorption/desorption cycle, allowing for continuous regeneration and reuse of the solvent. The system incorporates highly effective heat integration.

    Production Volume: 2.2 tCO2/h
