CO2stCap - Cutting Cost of CO2 Capture in Process Industry

Abstract

This paper is a presentation of the CO2stCap project to be undertaken in the four year project period (2015 – 2019). The project focuses on partial CO2 capture in process industry and how this can be applied to reduce cost. By performing techno–economic analyses, the optimal capture rate, including optimal design, application and configuration for different industry sources can be obtained. Cost estimation methods are used as a basis to identify and verify potentials for cost reduction when applying different options for implementation of partial CO2 capture. CO2stCap. Industries studied in this project are pulp & paper, steel, cement and metallurgical production of silicon for solar cells.
