FELLOWS, AWARDEES AND ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS
Major industrial sectors like petrochemicals and chemicals, iron and steel, and cement are hard to decarbonise.
This technical briefing will explore how a revolutionary rotating technology developed by Coolbrook combines space science, turbomachinery, and chemical engineering to replace burning of fossil fuels across all major industrial sectors.
The technology has two main applications: RotoDynamic Reactor (RDR) to reach 100% CO2 free olefin production, and RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) to provide carbon-free process heating to iron and steel, cement and chemicals production.
If deployed at scale, this technology has the potential to cut global industrial CO2 emissions by up to 2.4 Gt or 30%, accounting for 7% of annual global CO2 emissions.
