Abstract: A carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system to reduce CO2 emissions comprises an absorption zone and a regeneration zone. The absorption zone captures CO2 from exhaust gas by absorption in a liquid solvent separated from the exhaust gas by a separator. The liquid solvent comprises a blend of alkali metal salts of two or more amino or amino-sulfonic acids, thereby forming a first constituent and a second constituent. The first constituent is a primary or secondary amino or amino sulfonic acid with molar mass of less than 200 g/mol. The second constituent has a molar mass of less than 300 g/mol. The regeneration zone may rejuvenate the liquid solvent rich in captured CO2 by heating so that a resulting liquid solvent with a low concentration of CO2 is pumped back to the absorption zone. An on-board CO2 capture and storage system for a mobile internal combustion engine and a method for capturing CO2 are also described.

Abstract: An exhaust gas carbon dioxide capture and recovery system that may be mounted on a mobile vehicle or vessel. The system may include an exhaust absorber system, a solvent regenerator, a solvent loop, a carbon dioxide compressor, and a carbon dioxide storage tank, among other components. The system may be configured and integrated such that energy in the exhaust may be used to power and drive the carbon dioxide capture while having minimal parasitic effect on the engine.

Abstract: A system includes an engine having a main combustion chamber and a prechamber containing a spark plug. The prechamber is in fluid communication with the main combustion chamber through at least one orifice. An engine intake line provides intake air to the engine. An engine exhaust line receives exhaust gases from the engine. An exhaust gas recirculation line transports a portion of the exhaust gases from the engine exhaust line to the engine intake line, forming an exhaust gas recirculation loop through the engine. The system includes a reformer having a reactor containing a catalyst-coated substrate. The reformer generates a gaseous reformate from a fuel. The system includes a prechamber feed line to transport a stream of the gaseous reformate from the reformer to the prechamber.

Abstract: Compositions and methods related to the removal of acidic gas. In one embodiment, compositions and methods are provided for the removal of acidic gas from a gas mixture using an aqueous amine solvent comprising water, a first amine, and a second amine, wherein the first amine contributes at least 50% by weight of the solvent's total amine concentration.
