The BRINE-CARB project proposes an innovative and integrated solution for carbon capture, recovery and recycling of waste, with the overall objectives of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and promoting the principles of a circular economy through the recovery of industrial waste streams. From a scientific and technological point of view, the project aims to develop carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies using abundant and inexpensive materials, in particular hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide from desalination processes
The project will introduce two key components: developing innovative treatments for hydrochloric acid valorisation and promoting CO2 mineralisation. The former focuses on the treatment of brines from desalination applications, aligned with sustainability goals. The latter involves the capture and mineralisation of CO2 into stable compounds using treated brine, contributing to long-term carbon storage. The strategic positioning of the project at TRL5, with the installation of a pilot-scale demonstrator, emphasises practical application and scalability. Through transnational cooperation, the project aims to achieve significant results, including the development of innovative CCUS solutions, the improvement of hydrochloric acid utilisation and the contribution to climate change mitigation. The project is closely aligned with the objectives of the European Union by addressing the environment, renewable energy and sustainable industrial processes in a holistic way.
The project Cetp-FP-2023-00287 is implemented under the CET Partnership 2023 Joint Call for Proposals for Research, co-funded by the European Commission and supported by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation through the National Research Development and Innovation Fund, under the funding of the 2024-1.2.1- HE_partnership Call for Proposals.
