REPSOL SA Innovation Challenge: advantaged designed materials for direct air capture

Repsol SA, leading Spanish company in the oil and natural gas sectors, is a global multi-energy provider working to drive the evolution towards a low-emissions energy model. In the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan Repsol SA took on these ambitious challenges by evolving towards a customer-centric, multi-energy company that’s committed to digitalization, innovation, strategic talent management, and new ways of working.

The company is looking for innovators and experts who could provide solutions in Circular Economy and Decarbonization sector.

A full summary of the challenge is available here:

Challenge Description
Find collaboration opportunities to develop materials for the direct capture of CO2 from the air together with the design of its corresponding process to create a strong IP position in the DAC (Direct Air Capture) R&D line. Ideal material KPIs include, high CO2 productivity, material stability in oxygen and moisture, contactor design to facilitate small pressure drop, low cost and scalable materials, low regeneration energy. It is also necessary to design a specific process for the material and for this purpose it is planned to collaborate with expert groups in dynamic models for CO2 capture.

Technical requirements
Potential collaborators must have a defined POC (Proof Of Concept) to develop material that addresses the identified KPIs. Ideally if material and process design can be done with the same collaborator it would be of great value.
