Industrial CO2 captureusing a natural process

Our atmosphere is warming up

• One more type of air pollution1. Toxic gas pollution (acid rain)

• Industries, local impacts2. Ozone layer depletion (CFC)

• Industries and households, regional impacts3. Air temperature is rising (Greenhouse gases)

• Industries, transports, agriculture, homes, individuals

• Global impacts on nature and humans

• Greenhouse Gases (GHG)– Carbon dioxyde (CO2)– Methane (CH4)– N2O, HFCs, SF6 and other synthetic gases– Water vapor (H2O), non anthropogenic

Nature is hurt byClimate Change

• Nature itself wants to negotiate

• CO2 is the most abundant GHG

NEW !! Nature can help human beings– To capture and sequestrate CO2

– In order to slow down global warming

• Sustainable Development technologies– Alternative to reduce the amount of GHG

emitted in the atmosphere

Nature does capture CO2

• Forests inhale atmospheric CO2

– Not enough trees for man-made CO2

• CO2 capture in human muscles– Cellular CO2 transformed into

bicarbonate– Carbonic anhydrase enzyme

• A new industrial bio-catalyst– Genetically engineered enzyme– Allows industrial CO2 capture

A powerful bio-catalyst

manufactured through genetic engeneering

Human Carbonic Anhydrase type II(267 amino-acids)

Massive CO2 capture

Your Car1. Sensible driving

• immediate

2. Switch fuel• Mid-term

3. Catalytic muffler• Significant

4. Hybride car• Long-term

An Industrial Plant1. Fine tuning

– immediate

2. Switch fuel– Mid-term

3. CO2 capture– Significant

4. New design– Long-term

A successful demonstration

• CO2 capture at a large municipal waste incinerator (Quebec City)

• CO2 Solution’s Industrial prototype– 5 weeks non-stop, 7/24

– 50% CO2 capture

– Permanent sequestration

• Sound basis for larger scale-up

Column packing with bio-catalyst

CO2 Solution Inc. offers an innovative alternative

• CO2 gas is converted

into an unharmful aqueous by-product, inside the reactor

• Low energy process

• Captured Carboncan be recycled

Sustainable Development

• CO2 Solution’s bio-catalysis treatment unit:– instantaneously converts harmful CO2 gas– into unharmful bicarbonate ion (HCO3

--) solution

Offers flexible alternatives for CO2 sequestration

Fossil carbon for energy production can be reused for chemicals

Industrial CO2 Capture

• Clean Energy production – Coal thermal plants - electricity– Natural gas reformers – hydrogen– Boilers for industrial processes – fossil carbon

dependancy

• Industrial process CO2 emissions– Lime factories– Steel furnaces– Cement kilns– Biogas – « waste to energy »

At the end of the process

CO2 capture system

CO2 Solution’s Bio-catalysis

• Technology platform combination– Genetic engineering – bio-catalyst– Large scale biochemistry process– Traditional gas purification technologies

• The power of bio-catalysis– Low cost catalyst manufacture

– High CO2 conversion rate

– Bio-catalyst durability

Biochemical CO2 capture

• First commercially available biochemical process

• Overcomes chemical catalyst limitations

• A sustainable development technology
