Co2 Capture From Industrial Sources By High-Temperature Sorbents, Matteo C. Romano, Giampaolo Manzolini, Stefano Consonni
Co2 Capture From Industrial Sources By High-Temperature Sorbents, Matteo C. Romano, Giampaolo Manzolini, Stefano Consonni
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
Among the emerging CO2 capture technologies, systems based on high temperature (HT) regenerable sorbents had a significant development in recent years. In addition to power plants, HT sorbents technologies can be particularly promising for CO2 capture in carbon intensive industrial processes such as cement plants, steel mills and hydrogen plants. Calcium looping (CaL) is a combined post-combustion and oxyfuel combustion technology which uses calcium oxide (CaO) as CO2 sorbent. In this process, CO2 in combustion flue gases is absorbed in a carbonator reactor by forming calcium carbonate (CaCO3) through the exothermic carbonation reaction. Carbonated sorbent is then regenerated to CaO …

Ccus As A Regional Economic Development Tool: Planning And Design Considerations, Kevin O’Brien
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
One of the major concerns has been the impact of Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration on regional economies. We submit that CCUS provides a means for regional economic growth and job creation. In order to achieve these benefits, it is necessary to re-build and re-design the structure of the regional carbon supply chain. This includes (1) developing a methodology to evaluate large scale capture options for regional power plants, (2) evaluating a portfolio of options to utilize the captured CO2 that are relevant to the needs of the local economy, (3) establishing public-private partnerships that help incentivize the newly formed …

A Membrane Approach To Co2 Capture, Richard W. Baker, Brice Freeman, Tim Merkel
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
For the past eight years, Membrane Technology and Research, Inc. (MTR) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, has been developing membrane technology to capture CO2 from power plant flue gas. A 20 ton/day test system has been built and operated at two field sites. The technology is moving to the 200 ton/day (10 MWe) demonstration scale. A block diagram of the MTR process is shown in Figure 1. One innovation of this process is the use of a two-step membrane design where the second step uses a membrane operating with air sweep to selectively recycle CO2 to the boiler. …
Adsorption Processes For Co2 Capture: An Overview, Paul Webley, Ranjeet Singh, Penny Xiao
Adsorption Processes For Co2 Capture: An Overview, Paul Webley, Ranjeet Singh, Penny Xiao
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
Adsorption processes for CO2 capture have gained significant attention in the last decade with hundreds of reports on new adsorbents and processes for capture and removal of carbon dioxide from a range of gas streams. To date, the only commercial examples are removal of trace carbon dioxide in gas streams such as LNG and ASU upstream molecular sieve units. There are no commercial examples of the use of adsorbents to capture carbon dioxide by adsorption processes and deliver a stream of high purity carbon dioxide for sequestration or further processing. In this study, we present the range of processing options …

Manufacturing Our Future: Industries, European Regions And Climate Action, Jonas Helseth
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
The report “Manufacturing our Future: Industries, European Regions and Climate Action – CO2 Networks for the Ruhr, Rotterdam, Antwerp & the greater Oslo Fjord” was published by Bellona Europa, an NGO that has been key in shaping European CCS policy for more than a decade, in October 2016. The report includes learnings from the last decade and on this basis, provides a way forward for deploying CCS in Europe, with an emphasis on industrial emissions. Industrial CCS provides a critical and cost-effective solution to reaching Europe’s climate goals. Current EU and national policies, however, have so far not given the …

CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
Indonesia, on the one hand, is a tropical country with large biomass productivity and increasing oil and gas sector activities. On the other hand, it is the 3rd largest GHG emitter globally and some 90% of its emissions are generated from massive land-use change. However, Indonesia has also developed very ambitious climate targets aiming at up to 41% emission reduction by 2020. These targets need to be balanced with an envisaged GDP growth by 7% and projected 5 times higher energy consumption in 2050. To decrease its fossil fuel dependency and emissions, the government of Indonesia has decided to increase …
Cost-Effective, Near-Term Deployment Of Carbon Capture And Storage From Biorefineries In The United States, Daniel L. Sanchez, Nils Johnson, Sean Mccoy
Cost-Effective, Near-Term Deployment Of Carbon Capture And Storage From Biorefineries In The United States, Daniel L. Sanchez, Nils Johnson, Sean Mccoy
CO2 Summit III: Pathways to Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Deployment
Abstract: Capture and permanent sequestration of biogenic CO2 emissions play a pivotal role in stringent climate change mitigation. Bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) technologies, in particular, can remove atmospheric CO2 emissions while producing valuable energy products such as fuels, electricity, and gaseous hydrocarbons. Yet, most near-term assessments of climate change mitigation opportunities assume BECCS is either too costly or commercially unavailable. In contrast, biogenic CO2 capture and sequestration from industrial fermentation is already deployed at commercial scale, including several corn ethanol facilities in the United States. Such capture opportunities target pure streams of biogenic CO2 from existing biofuel …
