Enzyme assisted CO2 absorption in switchable ionic liquid amine hybrid solvents

Project team: Magnus Sjöblom (project leader), Paul Christakopoulos, Ulrika Rova

Partners: Jyri-Pekka Mikkola Umeå University

Duration: 2017-2019

Funded by the Swedish Energy Agency

The objective is to develop hybrid solvents based on reversible ionic liquids and amines for enzyme-based CO2 absorption. The proposed technique has the potential to provide a more cost- and energy-efficient CO2 absorption/desorption compared to current methods.
