Low cost hybrid capture technology development
1st June 2013
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture
Post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) has been recognised as a necessary option for reducing the emissions from fossil fuel power plants, especially from coal-fired power plants. The current preferred technology for CO2 capture from PCC is solvent scrubbing, of which the unit size is likely to be larger than the currently operating scrubbing units. This project looks to examine the opportunities to integrate solvent scrubbing with alternative technologies such as CO2 capture by adsorption for a lower energy penalty with additional benefits. This study shows that the hybrid system as proposed was not effective in reducing the overall cost of CO2 capture.
