As climate change increasingly impacts the environment and society worldwide, advanced biofuels produced from cyanobacteria constitute a nature-based solution to the capture and storage of the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by continual or enhanced biological processes. We propose a mixedinteger nonlinear programming problem to address the optimal design of a biorefinery and its heat exchanger network based on Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, aiming to maximize the sustainability net present value in a superstructure approach. The optimal scheme includes production of pigments and fourth-generation bioethanol, self-supply of energy, and recycling of enriched nutrient streams. Numerical results provide a sustainability net present value of 117.55 M USD, rendering a competitive fourth-generation bioethanol production cost of 0.40 USD/kg of bioethanol. Simultaneous heat integration improves the objective function, showing that reducing environmental burden has a greater impact than minimizing the capital investment in heat exchangers, compared to the case of no heat integration. Sensitivity analysis shows that further enhancement of Synechocystis' ethanol productivity is crucial to improve sustainability.

“…The use of optimization approaches for decision-making has the potential to reduce the costs of chemical absorption-based carbon capture. ,− Simulation-based optimization methods are usually employed to address the optimal design of carbon capture plants due to the use of highly nonlinear rigorous models. For instance, genetic algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization have been used to optimize carbon capture technologies.…”

Post-combustion capture has the potential to mitigate climate change through the reduction of CO2 emissions in the short term. Chemical absorption-based processes are the most mature technology, but process costs should be reduced to facilitate their worldwide application. In this context, we address the optimal design of absorption-based carbon capture technologies using the Aspen Plus platform in the equation-oriented (EO) mode. We show the efficiency of this tool by solving optimal design problems for three case studies: (i) conventional process using monoethanolamine; (ii) conventional process using 2-methylpiperazine; and (iii) advanced flash stripping (AFS) configuration using piperazine (PZ). The objective function is the carbon dioxide avoided cost, and we consider a flue gas with a CO2 concentration of 7.5% (molar basis). Numerical results indicate that the AFS configuration with PZ has the best energy efficiency (2.46 GJ/t-CO2) and achieves the lowest CO2 avoided cost, with a value of 98.8 $/tonne-CO2.

“…13−18 The potential economic incentive of such a production must be valued against its operating costs, since this option has shown to be costly and energy intensive. 19 Another option worthy of consideration is the use of ecosystems provided by nature, which may yield multiple goods and services by using carbon dioxide as one of their substrates. Such systems include forests and woodlands that provide valuable goods and benefits to society, such as provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services.…”

Power plants are major contributors to CO 2 emissions. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) processes are commonly integrated, but the capture effectiveness is limited. In this work, four conversion technologies for CO 2 utilization from a power plant plus PCC to produce formic acid, methanol, and syngas as value-added chemicals are analyzed. We also analyze the implications of implementing forest ecosystems, for which trees with three types of maturity are considered. The results show that the environmental implications of process utilization technologies may lack desired effectiveness, since the emissions of the utilization plant may still be significant with respect to the amount of captured CO 2 . Ecological systems are more effective from environmental considerations, but the number of trees and land use may be too high to process the amount of CO 2 produced by power plants. A hybrid scheme that integrates a suitable transformation technology with forest ecosystems shows that they may have benefits from both economic and sustainability considerations.
