The Pi-CO_² capture prototype, shipped from Florida USA,  has safely arrived at BRGM France

After testing, fine-tuning and validation in Florida USA, the Pi-CO_² prototype was shipped to BRGM offices in Orléans France, where it will be errected in the Pilot Hall for further testing. Once installed, the column measures 8 m high (cf. photo below). 

A major barrier holding back CCS deployment is the current high cost of the capture part of the CCS chain. The Pi-CO_² prototype directly addresses this limitation by offering an innovative, highly efficient, low-cost method of carbon capture. A product of Partnering in Innovation, the capture system is designed to be incorporated in the injection well where it dissolves CO_² in water before its injection into the reservoir for storage.
