Simultaneous cement enhancement and carbon dioxide utilization by mounting a carbon dioxide capture system onboard a concrete mixer vehicle

A vehicle CO2 capture and utilization system comprising a concrete mixer vehicle and a vehicle exhaust capture system;

• wherein:
• the concrete mixer vehicle comprises a combustion engine, a vehicle exhaust, and a mixer tank;
• the vehicle exhaust capture system comprises one or more fluid pathways that fluidly couple the vehicle exhaust and the mixer tank;
• the vehicle exhaust capture system comprises a CO2 capture unit that is located onboard the concrete mixer vehicle and is fluidly coupled to the vehicle exhaust and the mixer tank using the one or more fluid pathways;
• the vehicle exhaust capture system comprises a CO2 storage tank that is fluidly coupled to the vehicle exhaust using the one or more fluid pathways and is located onboard the concrete mixer vehicle;
• the one or more fluid pathways comprise a first fluid pathway extending from the vehicle exhaust to the CO2 capture unit, a second fluid pathway extending from the CO2 capture unit to the mixer tank, a third fluid pathway extending from the CO2 capture unit to the CO2 storage tank and a fourth fluid pathway extending from the CO2 storage tank to the mixer tank;
• a first flow generation unit is fluidly coupled to the second fluid pathway to selectively generate fluid flow from the CO2 capture unit to the mixer tank;
• a second flow generation unit is fluidly coupled to the third fluid pathway to selectively generate fluid flow from the CO2 capture unit to the CO2 storage tank;
• and
• a third flow generation unit is fluidly coupled to the fourth fluid pathway to selectively generate fluid flow from the CO2 storage tank to the mixer tank.
