About the project
The BRINE-CARB project aims to develop an innovative carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology that transforms industrial brine waste into valuable carbonate-based materials. It seeks to reduce CO2 emissions by leveraging brine as a reactive medium, minimizing environmental impact while creating sustainable alternatives for industrial applications. The project focuses on optimizing CO2 absorption, enhancing brine waste management, and producing high-quality carbonates for commercial use. By ensuring technological scalability, economic feasibility, and environmental benefits, BRINE-CARB TECHFEM supports industrial sustainability, promotes circular economy principles, and contributes to climate change mitigation.
The BRINE-CARB project addresses two major challenges: industrial CO2 emissions and brine waste management. Current carbon capture technologies are often costly and energy-intensive, while brine disposal remains an environmental concern, particularly in desalination and industrial processes. The project goes beyond the state of the art by integrating CO2 capture with brine valorization, converting waste streams into valuable carbonate-based materials. Through advanced chemical and engineering innovations, it enhances CO2 absorption efficiency, reduces processing costs, and ensures scalability. By developing a sustainable, cost-effective solution, the project pioneers a circular economy approach, transforming industrial waste into commercially viable resources.
