On the Integration of CO2 Capture Technologies for an Oil Refinery

Abstract

This study determines and presents the capital and operating costs imposed by the use of CO2 capture technologies in the refining and petrochemical sectors. Depending on the refining process and the CO2 capture method, CO2 emissions costs of EUR 30 to 40 per ton of CO2 can be avoided. Advanced low-temperature CO2 capture technologies for upgrading oxyfuel reformers may not provide any significant long-term and short-term benefits compared to conventional technologies. For this reason, an analysis was performed to estimate the CO2 reduction potential for the oil and gas industries using short- and long-term ST/MT technologies, was arriving at a reduction potential of about 0.5–1 Gt/yr. The low cost of CO2 reduction is a result of the good integration of CO2 capture into the oil production process. The results show that advanced gasoline fraction recovery with integrated CO2 capture can reduce the cost of producing petroleum products and reduce CO2 emissions, while partial CO2 capture has comparative advantages in some cases.

Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide, methane, and air for green fuels synthesis

“…This is generally recognized as pre-combustion technology. 36 The second technology is the process of capturing gases during combustion, commonly referred to as "oxygen combustion". This process involves burning fuel in an environment enriched with oxygen to achieve optimal results.…”

“…This process involves burning fuel in an environment enriched with oxygen to achieve optimal results. 36 The capture of gases during the ultimate stage of releasing the combustion products is called post-combustion technology. This method is particularly effective for capturing CO 2 from various sources that generate energy, including thermal power plants and waste-to-energy facilities.…”

“…Following the emission of flue gases, a suitable technology is utilized to separate CO 2 from other gases in a distinct process. 36 NH 3 is a crucial chemical in the production of fertilizers, and it has many other applications, such as in the manufacture of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. NH 3 has the potential to become an H 2 storage medium in the near future, thus enabling the development of CO 2 -free energy systems.…”

“…SDG 7 seeks to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy. This is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions [1], such as the byproducts of the oil industry [2], improving health, enhancing economic productivity, and creating opportunities for innovation and social inclusion. SDG 6 aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation.…”
