- Aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) is the benchmark industrial process for the capture of CO2. In this research we propose a novel greener solvent by replacing a portion of MEA with Glycerol which can be obtained from renewable sources. A rigorous research at a pilot scale was conducted to evaluate the performance of the novel solvent experimentally and through process simulation. This paper and other related work helped the research team to attract over US$ 1,000,000 in strategic investment from Sunway University to establish a 3-years research collaboration with MIT. The research agreement with MIT was signed on 30/10/2020.
