CSAR: carbon capture
A Norwegian company developing a carbon capture technology known as Continuous Swing Adsorption Reactor (CSAR) tested its heat and vacuum pump system in an industrial setting.
CSAR captured 100 kilograms of carbon dioxide per day
CSAR technology competes very well with technologies that utilize heat
The underlying technology—Continuous Swing Adsorption Reactor (CSAR)—uses a heat pump and vacuum pump to efficiently capture CO2. One of CSAR’s important advantages is that both its heat pump and vacuum pump technologies use the same energy source, simplifying the process being used in many existing carbon capture technologies. This makes it particularly appealing for retrofitting flues that exhaust greenhouse gasses around the world.
