Honeywell and UT Austin Set to Test Advanced Carbon Capture Technology at World’s Largest Facility - An advanced solvent for post-combustion carbon capture, developed in a collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and Honeywell, is slated for engineering-scale testing in October at the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM), the world’s largest carbon capture test facility in Norway. This cutting-edge technology is designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources such as power, steel, and cement plants, significantly contributing to global carbon emissions. Advanced Carbon Capture Technology The solvent technology, developed over several years in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management and managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), has the potential to capture up to 95% of CO2 emissions from industrial facilities. In this process, CO2 is absorbed into an amine solvent and then separated in a stripper, where the CO2 is compressed for either geological sequestration or alternative uses, such as in industrial processes or for the creation of carbon credits.

I am thrilled to announce that six innovative projects from our team at Argonne National Laboratory have clinched a prestigious 2024 R&D 100 Award! 🌟🏆 These awards celebrate revolutionary ideas in science and technology, highlighting groundbreaking products and processes developed over the past two years. Here’s a spotlight on the winning initiatives from my Argonne colleagues working in the Applied Materials Division: 1️. Direct Recycling Process for Lithium-Ion Battery Cells: This process boosts battery recycling profitability by recovering and reusing positive electrodes directly, rather than breaking down batteries into lower-value elements. Direct recycling also has a lower environmental footprint compared to traditional methods. (Argonne development team: Albert Lipson, Jessica Durham Macholz, Jeffrey Spangenberger, Qiang Dai, Peyton Melin, Sabine Gallagher, Mike LeResche, Bryant Polzin, and Donghyeon Kang.) 2. Hydro4Crystal: This platform produces single-crystal battery cathode materials that are faster, more efficient, and less complex – increasing energy density, enhancing charging speed, and extending battery lifespan through a swift and continuous one-pot procedure. (Developed in partnership with @ACT-ion Battery Technologies. Argonne development team: Youngho Shin.) 3️. Rapid Thermal Processing of Solid-State Lithium Battery Ceramic Electrolyte Materials: This rapid photonic processing technology reduces the production time and energy consumption needed to make ceramic electrolyte materials used for solid-state lithium batteries. Allowing for manufacturing at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint. (Developed in partnership with PulseForge, Inc. Argonne development team: Yuepeng Zhang, Jungkuk Lee, Samuel David Miller, John Hryn, and myself.) 4. Ultra-Fast Selective Delamination (UFSD) of Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes: This new technique recycles and recovers critical materials from lithium-ion battery electrodes efficiently and sustainably. (Argonne development team: Bryant Polzin, Ozge Kahvecioglu, and Beihai Ma.) Join me in congratulating these and all the other winners and finalists! 🎉 Learn more about the Argonne 2024 R&D 100 projects: https://lnkd.in/g2p7gT3M #RD100 #Innovation #AppliedMaterials #Batteries #BatteryRecycling #BatteryMaterials #Sustainability #Efficiency
