The bp Chair in Industrial Environment of the Universitat Jaume I and OFITEC, the teaching innovation project to promote university-society interaction, have organised on 3 March the seminar "CO₂ capture technologies. A present and future need".

The event has been held in the main hall of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences of the UJI and has had the participation of Adolfo Benedito, member of the Department of Decarbonisation of AIMPLAS, the Technological Institute of Plastics.

Emissions trading is a market instrument through which an economic incentive or disincentive is created with an environmental objective: to reduce emissions into the atmosphere and move towards decarbonisation.

With a price per tonne on European markets that has reached 90 euros in this first part of the year (the average in 2020 was close to 25 €/t), CO₂ capture is not only necessary but also profitable, despite the margin for improvement that still exists in the technologies available for this purpose.

The seminar focused on the techniques for the separation and capture of CO₂. Thus, the characteristics of the different technologies were presented, as well as the advantages and disadvantages involved in each one and their current scale of application, from pilot projects to the industrial field.

However, the capture of CO₂ is only a first step, which is completed by its storage and, more importantly, its use and transformation into high-value products.

CO₂ is used in a long list of processes and applications of which people are not always aware, such as the production of beer and soft drinks, the manufacture of aspirin and plastic polymers, food preservation or firefighting.

This activity is part of the programme of the subject "Environmental Technology" of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering. The event was attended by 52 participants, including students and teaching staff from different engineering fields, as well as professionals from the engineering and industrial sectors.
