Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCU/S) is considered an important technology in the fight against the climate change, and it is in line with package Fit for 55 and national carbon neutrality climate goals to be achieved by 2050. The Energy Institute activities in this area include:

• Research and development of rotating technology (Rotating Packed Bed) for carbon capture.

• Fundamental research on the types of liquid solvents and their atomization inside the rotating packing and outer cavity for more intensive carbon capture.

• Research and development of various packaging structures to improve the interphase interface for carbon absorption.

• Optimization and control of atomizers for CO2 capture.

• Design and testing of a unique device in the Czech Republic.

Further information is available on the websites of individual laboratories:

• Gasification laboratory
  The gasification laboratory focuses on research and development in the field of fluidised bed gasification of biomass, alternative fuels and selected types of waste. Research activities aim at research in the gasification of various types of fuels and gasification media, research in the field of purification of produced energy gas and, last but not least, on research into the combustion of low-calorific gas.

• Aerosol research laboratory
  The department systematically and at the state-of-the-art level builds up facilities for experimental research into aerosol transport and deposition. It is equipped with up-to-date instrumentation for preparation and experimental research of liquid and solid particles. The research activities conducted currently at the laboratory include elucidation of transport of various type particles as well as assessment of their deposition during inhalation into human airways. The laboratory fundamental component is a test rig for aerosol preparation, its mixing with air and measurement of flow operating parameters. More information here.
  
• Laboratory of heat exchangers and condensers
  The laboratory’s main activity is the experimental evaluation of heat transfer on heat exchange surfaces during heating/cooling of liquids and gases. We focus primarily on evaluating heat flows of non-standard geometric configurations of heat exchange surfaces (sprinkled exchangers, labyrinth seals, small channels) and on energy applications of heat exchangers with phase change of the working substance (boiling, condensation). The laboratory facilities of specialised laboratories are used for research activities, and thanks to the mobile apparatus, we also carry out measurements "in the field.". More information here.
  
• Multiphase flow laboratory
  The workplace has 25 year hands-on experience in the field of multiphase flows with focuse to various multiphase flow problems. It runs a laboratory unique to the Czech Republic that is equipped competitively with other top laboratories across Europe.The typical application lies in research and diagnostics of atomizers for energy industry, combustion chambers of gas turbine engines, gas cleaning (desulphurization, CCS), cooling in metallurgic processes, combustion of waste fuels, pharmaceutical industry and air humidification.
