Development of the thermolysis process "Direct Carbon Immobilisation (DCI)"

Lecture by Michiel Spits

Since 2021, DOPS Recycling Technlogies has been developing the thermolysis process "Direct Carbon Immobilisation (DCI)". Here, household, industrial or agricultural waste is placed in a reactor, heated to 1,000 degrees or more, turning it back into usable raw materials such as syngas, carbon, minerals and metals. With this technology, DOPS Recycling Technologies wants to enter the market.

A 100-hour endurance test on a prototype reactor started at the end of January. Useful data and information has already been obtained on process, scale-up, yield and reliability, among other things. DOPS uses this DCI technology to convert biomass and residue, such as "waste", to syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) & high-quality solid carbon. Their goal is that this technology can realise the sustainable alternative (e.g. renewable methanol) at a fossil price. this endurance test is the concluding chapter of TRL6 and Michiel will tell more about the next steps!
