FAST CHARGING STATION WITH INTEGRATED CO2-COLLECTOR

Abstract

A method is provided for a combination of CO2-capture and storage from the ambient air and fast charging of electric vehicles. A charging station for electric vehicles is also provided.

Description

Claims

1. A method for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air, the method comprising: taking ambient air through a filter which adsorbs carbon dioxide; andheating the filter in order to release the adsorbed carbon dioxide, wherein waste heat produced during fast charging of at least one electric vehicle at least at one fast charging point is utilized for the heating of the filter.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the filter is heated to a temperature in the range of 60 to 150° C. for the releasing of adsorbed carbon dioxide.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the filter is subjected to reduced pressure for the releasing of adsorbed carbon dioxide.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carbon dioxide is stored in a collection tank.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein taking the ambient air through the filter includes creating an air current by at least one blower fan or at least one fan and taken through the filter, and wherein the electric energy for operating the at least one blower or the at least one fan is provided by a buffer battery of the fast charging point.

6. A charging station for electric vehicles, comprising: at least one fast charging point for electric vehicles; andat least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air, wherein the module can be heated by the waste heat produced during the fast charging of at least one electric vehicle at the at least one fast charging point.

7. The charging station according to claim 6, wherein the at least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air contains a filter, which is adapted to adsorb carbon dioxide from the ambient air and to release it once more upon heating to a temperature in the range of 60 to 150° C.

8. The charging station according to claim 6, wherein the at least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air has a gas inlet and a gas outlet, at least one fan and/or a blower for creating an air flow through the module, and a vacuum device for creating a partial vacuum in the module.

9. The charging station according to claim 6, wherein the at least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air is connected to a collection tank for receiving and storing of CO2.

10. The charging station according to claim 6, further comprising a roof on which is arranged the at least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air, and beneath which are arranged the at least one fast charging point, at least one buffer battery, at least one unit for control of the at least one fast charging point and the at least one module for capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the ambient air, and at least one collection tank for receiving and storing of CO2.
