MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123048 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'carbon dioxide capture and valorization system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Bandaru Kiran; Mr. Prateek Banerjee; and Mr. Aditya Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a carbon dioxide capture and valorization method (100) that receives flue gas containing carbon dioxide from an industrial source, contacts the flue gas with an amine solvent in an absorber column (106) to absorb the carbon dioxide into the amine solvent forming a carbon dioxide-rich solvent, extracts the carbon dioxide-rich solvent from an absorber bottom (112), preheats the carbon dioxide-rich solvent through a lean-rich heat exchanger (116), feeds the preheated carbon dioxide-rich solvent to a stripper column (124) to regenerate the amine solvent and release purified carbon dioxide, compresses and distributes the purified carbon dioxide to utilization pathways (140), and converts the captured carbon dioxide into chemical products through parallel valorization pathways including combining the carbon dioxide with hydrogen in a continuous stirred tank reactor at 2000 kPa (158) to produce methanol and converting the methanol to downstream products."
