Innovative technology for capturing and storing CO2

Hyrogas has developed an innovative carbon dioxide (CO2) storage technology for capturing and storing CO2 in seawater. The development of the technology was carried out in cooperation with the Polytechnic University of Milan (the world's leading university in the field of climate technologies), which Hyrogas has attracted during the conceptual development of ideas.  There is currently no similar technology on the market that could provide an environmentally acceptable and economically viable alternative to storing CO2 in geological rocks, oil / gas wells or mineralization in building materials. Developed technology is scalable and can be used in waters of different sea salinity and depth. It is an innovative solution for the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, which is not yet available in Europe or globally. Practical validation-based laboratory scale prototype has been undertaken in cooperation with University of Latvia under the R&D voucher “Innovative Technology for Carbon Dioxide Storage in Saltwater” (VP-V-2021/68).

Since laboratory scale tests have been very successful, Hyrogas is planning further testing in operational environment and currently discussing with University of Genoa to set open loop pilot plant in one of Mediterranean ports in Italy.
