Think of a catalytic converter on an automobile.
The invention is a solution of liquid metal and molten salt through which CO2 is bubbled to conduct its conversion. The units would be attached to the industrial chimney, converting the pollutants before escaping to the atmosphere.
For companies with hard to abate emissions
The ability to abate CO2 emissions from major point sources where direct electrification remains difficult, such as production of cement, petrochemicals, and fertilizers, would engender deep decarbonization. This allows the use of hydrocarbons as process inputs. The Zapper is added to the chimney outflow, diverting it for treatment resulting in conversion of C02 gas before escaping to the atmosphere.
Proven at the lab bench, with international interest, development partners and clear IP. Carbon Zapper allows for both Co2 removal and the monetization of the production of C02.
White paperModels published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) require removing up to 20 Gt of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere. Sadoway has developed a permanent solution to capture C02 and convert gas to carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide is then available for return to the market.
The Zapper will remove CO2 for the hard-to-abate sectors, without the additional requirements of sequestration.
There’s growing public and institutional pressure for companies to make net-zero commitments for positive social impact. The Carbon Zapper is now undergoing third-party verification to quality for high-value carbon credits. The process falls within three clean technology spectoral scopes:
• Fugitive emissions from fuels (solid, liquid, gas)
• Fugitive emissions from industrial gasses (halocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride)
• Other engineered removals
The Carbon Zapper was developed by Donald Sadoway at Sadoway Labs, a group dedicated to advancing the ideas of Donald Sadoway, alongside his colleague Xueqi Pang. With clear IP, the technology is available for licensing.
