据Oil & Gas Journal网站8月26日报道 埃克森美孚和Mosaic材料公司签署协议，探讨从排放源中去除二氧化碳的先进技术。

Mosaic已经对一种利用多孔固体（称为金属有机框架）从空气或烟气中分离二氧化碳的工艺进行了研究。该协议使讨论能够评估大规模工业使用该技术的机会。

Mosaic首席执行官托马斯?麦克唐纳表示，该公司的专有技术允许“使用温和的温度和压力变化，从几乎所有的气体混合物中分离二氧化碳”。

该协议建立在埃克森美孚碳捕获技术研究组合的基础上。

该公司得到Cyclotron Road基金支持，这是一个由劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室和一个独立的非盈利组织Activate合作管理的企业科学家基金。

5月，埃克森美孚与美国能源部国家可再生能源实验室和国家能源技术实验室签订了一项研究和开发先进低排放技术的协议。

埃克森美孚拥有全球碳捕获总量五分之一的权益，每年可捕获约700万吨二氧化碳。

ExxonMobil, Mosaic to explore carbon capture technology

ExxonMobil Corp. and Mosaic Materials Inc. have agreed to explore the advancement of technology to remove carbon dioxide from emissions sources.

Mosaic has progressed research on a process that uses porous solids, known as metalorganic frameworks, to separate CO2 from air or flue gas. The agreement enables discussion to evaluate opportunities for industrial uses of the technology at scale.

Mosaic Chief Executive Officer Thomas McDonald said the company’s proprietary technology allows for the separation of CO2 “from nearly any gas mixture using moderate temperature and pressure changes.”

The agreement builds upon ExxonMobil’s carbon capture technology research portfolio.

The company supports Cyclotron Road, a fellowship for entrepreneurial scientists that is managed in partnership between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Activate, an independent nonprofit.

In May, ExxonMobil entered into an agreement to research and develop advanced lower-emissions technologies with the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and National Energy Technology Laboratory (OGJ Online, May 8, 2019).

With a working interest in one fifth of the world’s total carbon capture capacity, ExxonMobil has been able to capture some 7 million tonnes/year of CO2.
