In this study, two new water‐soluble poly ionic liquids (PILs) polyethylene glycol‐ Di choline chloride (PEG‐(ChCl) 2 ) were modified, with two molecular weights of PEG, 400 and 600, to be used as solvents for CO 2 capture. The modified polymers were characterized using Fourier transform infra‐red (FT‐IR) spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H‐NMR). CO 2 absorption using the PILs was conducted at temperatures from 30 to 70°C and at pressures ranging from 10 to 13 bars. Both PILs saturated and then regenerated under the regeneration temperature: 90–100°C. The results showed that most of CO 2 in the liquid phase is released through the thermal regeneration before solutions start to boil after three cycles. PEG (400)–(ChCl) 2, and PEG(600)–(ChCl) 2 with a concentration of 0.03M showed CO 2 loading of 16.24 and 15.68, respectively. These results were 25% higher than the original PEG (400–600). © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
