Carbon capture from stationary power generation sources: A review of the current status of the technologies

Development and implementation of supply chain optimization framework for CO 2 capture and storage in the Netherlands

“…Capture Compression Transport Storage [13,10,14]. Post-combustion capture is a process that involves the capture of CO 2 from flue gas after combustion in any stationary source and the separation is mainly from flue gas and nitrogen.…”

“…There has been a lot of interest to cut carbon emissions all around the world and specifically in the Netherlands, the high court has ordered the government to have the emissions cut by at least 20% of the 1990 levels within five years from 2015, showing a strong commitment to reduce anthropogenic CO 2 emissions [4,5,6]. 10 In addition, the carbon tax which is expected to increase exponentially also gives an enormous motivation to reduce CO 2 emissions [7]. In the Netherlands, out of the total CO 2 emissions of 180 Mtpa (constant over the past few years), 109 Mtpa of CO 2 is emitted by stationary sources from the energy and manufacturing sector Fig.…”

“…Few reasons, other than the underestimation of the storage injection and transportation costs, may be the compositions of CO 2 in various flue gas sources used might have been inaccurate which can affect the costs considerably (as shown in fig. 3) or the model used for the capture and compression cost itself may not be accurate enough. However, literature also supports the fact that the capture and compression costs are the major contributor to the 365 CCS costs [10,42,14]. The main takeaway is that the capture processes cause the major lump of expenses and further optimization or invention of new technologies at much lower costs for capture can cause a major change in the overall costs.…”

Optimization of the various modes of flexible operation for post-combustion CO2 capture plant

“…This leads to a significant decrease in the power output of the plant, typically by ∼30% (Eslick and Miller, 2011;NETL, 2007;Zaman and Lee, 2013). Typically, in designing and operating a capture plant, all the variables (e.g., flow rates of the gas and liquid phases) are considered to be fixed at their nominal values.…”

Cyclic CO2 capture characteristics of a pellet derived from sol-gel CaO powder with Ca12Al14O33 support

“…Thus, CO 2 capture and storage have been paid much attention globally [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The cyclic carbonation/ calcination reactions of calcium-based sorbents for CO 2 capture, also called calcium looping, have recently been identified as one of the best CO 2 capture technologies [7][8][9][10].…”
