Amine Regeneration
Carbon Capture
Less Energy + Reduced Amine Degradation = Cost Savings
​Acceleware has been evaluating the novel use of radio frequency (RF) energy through our patented EMPowered Heat technology as a major step change process improvement to amine-based carbon capture.​
​
RF energy from the EMPowered Heat system is easily scalable, requires little maintenance and is extremely efficient, equating to significantly lowered costs and operations simplification in decarbonisation of amine-based carbon capture.
Acceleware has discovered favourable electromagnetic (EM) properties of CO2-rich and lean amine solvents that could allow for:​

EMPowered Heat for amine regeneration in carbon capture is estimated to reduce energy by 75%-85%
EMPowered Heat has shown promise in the reduction of amine degradation resulting from its lower operating temperatures
By reducing the amount of energy required while increasing the effective life of amines we can potentially lower overall capture costs by 1/3
