QUEBEC CITY, Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - CO₂ Solutions Inc. ( the "Corporation") (TSX-V:CST), the leader in the field of enzyme-enabled carbon capture technology, today announced it has been granted U.S. Patent No. 8,722,391 entitled Process for CO₂ capture using Carbonates and Biocatalysts with Absorption of CO₂ and Desorption of Ion-rich Solution.

The patent adds even more depth to CO₂ Solutions' already-extensive U.S. patent portfolio, providing broad coverage for enzyme accelerated carbonate-based solvent processes for carbon capture.  CO₂ Solutions believes the patent may have significant value relative to these CO₂ capture processes, especially where precipitates are produced during the absorption stage.  Formation of precipitates can drastically reduce the amount of solvent to be heated to produce pure CO₂ for industrial re-use.  This, in turn, reduces the total energy requirement, and hence the associated costs are lower than for comparable solutions available on the market.

Evan Price, CEO of CO₂ Solutions, stated, "This patent is yet another element in our robust intellectual property portfolio which we believe effectively covers all viable routes to commercialization of carbonic anhydrase enzyme-based systems for the capture of CO₂."
