Start-up Proposes Ionic Liquid - Amine Systems for Carbon Capture and Natural Gas Processing
Green Car Congress — ... ION Engineering, a start-up founded by scientists at the University of Colorado, is integrating room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) solutions into amine-based carbon capture and emissions control technology. Ionic liquids are molten salts that do not evaporate, and can be used to replace the current aqueous amine technology with proprietary ionic liquid – amine technology. The non-volatile nature and tunable chemistry of RTILs, when coupled with the high loading capacity of commodity amines, produce a “game-changing” technology for both CO2 capture at ...

Carbon Capture on the Cheap?
Greentech Media: All Content — ION Engineering says its new technology could cut the costs of capturing carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants to as low as $20 a ton a price that could get the attention of companies and governments looking to spend tens of billions of dollars on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the coming years. But the Boulder, Colo.-based startup founded by University of Colorado researchers will first set its sights on a market that actually exists today cleaning CO2 and other contaminant gases from natural gas, CEO Alfred Brown said Friday. ION's breakthrough is in using ...

Eco Tech: New technology makes carbon capture easy and cheap
Ecofriend — ... Though necessary, these technologies are way expensive than what the world can easily afford, so the strategy adopted by most power stations is to simply release CO2 into the atmosphere for free and let the world live in a hot planet. The feasible solution might just be born in the minds of some researchers at ION Engineering. Based in Colorado, ION Engineering has stated that the company has developed a new way to capture CO2 from power plants in a more cost-effective way. ...

Ionic Liquids Yield Breakthrough in Carbon Capture
GoodCleanTech — ... ION Engineering has recently come up with a way to use ionic liquids -- non-evaporable molten salts -- in capturing carbon emissions. Founded by University of Colorado scientists, the Boulder based clean tech firm says this breakthrough approach achieves a new benchmark in efficiency and can replace the current water-based amine technology. ...
