Demonstrating CO₂ capture in the UK cement, chemicals, iron and steel and oil refining sectors by 2025: a techno-economic study

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO₂ capture, Economics

In November 2013, the United Kingdom’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), and Department of Business Innovation & Skills (BIS) commissioned a team led by Element Energy, and comprising Carbon Counts, PSE, Imperial College and the University of Sheffield, to carry out a study of industrial CO₂ capture for storage or utilisation.

The primary focus of this study is assessing the technical potential and cost effectiveness for retrofit deployment of different CO₂ capture technologies to the UK’s existing largest (0.2-8 MtCO₂/yr) sources of process CO₂ emissions in the cement, chemicals, iron and steel, and oil refining sectors by 2025.
