Battery Systems Based on Metal-CO2 Reactions: a strategy to accumulate renewable energy, use CO₂ and operate in conjunction with carbon capture systems from the Oil & Gas (O&G) industry

Sponsor:
Petronas Petróleo Brasil Ltda (PPBL)

Period of execution:
2023- Current

Project presentation:

Currently, the development and implementation of innovative energy generation and storage systems are necessary to support the increasing share of renewable energies on the electrical grid and to help establish Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. As an alternative to minimize the impacts resulting from the imbalance between the supply and demand of energy from renewable sources, electrochemical conversion and the use of battery systems play an important and growing role to be developed.

Metal-CO2 batteries have a high estimated potential for storing energy but still face technical issues that need to be addressed to make their practical application feasible. In this context, the project includes a guided experimental approach and computational modeling to identify technological options with the highest potential for application. Thus, at the end of the RD&I proposal execution, it is expected to advance in the development of Metal-CO₂ battery systems and in the study of their application as a strategy to accumulate renewable energy, to use CO₂ and to operate in conjunction with carbon capture systems from the Oil & Gas (O&G) industry.
