Development of a Scalable and Comprehensive Infrastructure Model for Carbon Dioxide Utilization and Disposal

Abstract

Much of the previous research on carbon capture and storage (CCS) has focused on individual technologies for disposing of CO 2 , such as capture, storage, sequestration, or transport. Moreover, recent research work considers utilization of CO 2 as fuels, chemicals, or nutrients for bioreactors. To efficiently manage CO 2 and the economic benefits achieved by this process, the CO 2 transport and processing infrastructure supporting CCS will have to be constructed at a macro-scale. This paper introduces a scalable and comprehensive infrastructure model for CO 2 utilization and disposal that generates an integrated, profit-maximizing CCS system. The proposed model determines where and how much CO 2 to capture, store, transport, utilize or sequester to maximize total annual profit while meeting the CO 2 mitigation target. The applicability of the proposed model is demonstrated using a case study for treating CO 2 emitted by an industrial complex on the eastern coast of Korea in 2020. The results may be important in systematic planning of a CCS infrastructure and in assisting national and international policy makers to determine investment strategies for developing CCS infrastructures.

Scrutinising the Gap between the Expected and Actual Deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage—A Bibliometric Analysis

“…Huang et al [144] (d = 143) provided a general review of optimisation methods used for the deployment of CCS power plants, such as energy expansion planning optimisation models, pipeline network planning, source-sink optimisation models, or CO 2 sequestration optimisation models. Other key papers included Han et al [145] (d = 103), who developed a scalable and comprehensive infrastructure model that generates an integrated, profit-maximising CCS system from capture to storage of CO 2 ; Zhang et al [146] (d = 99), who provided a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the design of integrated carbon capture, transport, and storage infrastructure using the example of Qatar; Zhang et al [147] (d = 95), who developed an inexact management model (ICSM) to identify optimal strategies to plan CO 2 capture and sequestration under uncertainty; and Lee et al [148] (d = 86), who proposed a multi-objective MILP model combined with a life cycle assessment model in order to optimise both cost and environmental impacts.…”

A multi-scale framework for CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration: CCUS and CCU

“…For instance, analyzing the NATCARB data (National Energy Technology and Laboratory, 2010a), we have screened 161 CO 2 -EOR sites as potential utilization locations ( Finally, while studies (Odenberger et al, 2008;Kjärstad et al, 2011;Mikunda et al, 2011;Klokk et al, 2010;Strachan et al, 2011;Bakken et al, 2008;Middleton and Bielicki, 2009b;Middleton et al, 2012;Kuby et al, 2011;Han and Lee, 2011;Han et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2012;van den Broek et al, 2008;Zheng et al, 2010;Johnson and Ogden, 2011;Figueroa et al, 2008) addressed regional CO 2 capture and sequestration and CO 2 pipeline networks (Morbee Fig. 5.…”

Superstructure-Based Optimal Design of Pipeline Network for CO2 Transport in Large-Scale Carbon Capture and Sequestration

“…van den Broek et al once applied hubespoke models to study the optimal design of pipeline network for CO 2 transport in the Netherlands (van den Broek et al, 2010). Han and I. Lee once applied hube spoke models to optimally design CO 2 pipeline networks in eastern South Korea simultaneously, including pipeline, tanker truck, tanker ship, and tanker rail car (Han and Lee, 2011). Apart from sequestrating CO 2 into geological formations underground, captured CO 2 is also utilized to produce biobutanol and green polymers (Han and Lee, 2011).…”
