- Carbon capture and
storage (CCS), alternatively referred to as carbon capture and
sequestration, is a means of mitigating the contribution of
fossil fuel emissions to global warming.
- The process is
based on capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point
sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, and storing it in
such a way that it does not enter the atmosphere.
- It can also be
used to describe the scrubbing of CO2 from ambient air as a
geoengineering technique.
- There are three
basic types of CO2 capture: post-combustion, pre-combustion, and
oxy-combustion.
- Capturing and
compressing CO2 requires much energy and would increase the fuel
needs of a coal-fired plant with CCS by 25%-40%.
- Storage of the CO2
is envisaged either in deep geological formations, in deep ocean
masses, or in the form of mineral carbonates.
- Capturing CO2
might be applied to large point sources, such as large fossil
fuel or biomass energy facilities, industries with major
CO2 emissions, natural gas processing, synthetic fuel plants and
fossil fuel-based hydrogen production plants.
- Carbon
sequestration can be defined as the capture and secure storage
of carbon that would otherwise be emitted to, or remain, in the
atmosphere.
- Carbon dioxide
capture and storage (CCS) is an important concept to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, in particular from power plants.
- After CO2- capture
the CO2 needs to be compressed to achieve the right transport
and storage conditions.
- CO2 capture
processes from power production fall into three general
categories: flue gas separation, oxy-fuel combustion in power
plants and pre-combustion separation.
- Recycling CO2 is
likely to offer the most environmentally and financially
sustainable response to the global challenge of significantly
reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major stationary
(industrial) emitters in the near to medium term.
- Another
potentially useful way of dealing with industrial sources of CO2
is to convert it into hydrocarbons where it can be stored or
reused as fuel or to make plastics.
- Carbon capture and
storage (CCS) can play a significant role in mitigating climate
change. The technology is currently commonly
viewed as having the greatest potential to achieve CO2 savings
from coal-fired power generation.
- The carbon capture
process has been used for several decades in the petroleum,
chemical, and power industries for a variety of reasons relevant
to those industrial processes.
- Most applications
of CCS in industry – for example for boilers, turbines, iron &
steel, furnaces and cement kilns - require a capture
step to concentrate relatively dilute streams of CO2 to a level
that will enable economic transportation and storage.
- The CO2 Capture
Project, along with Praxair, Devon Canada, Cenovus Energy and
Statoil are currently executing a project to demonstrate
oxy-fuel combustion as a practical, economic and commercially
suitable technology for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from once
through steam generators (OTSGs) used in the in-situ production
of bitumen.
- Worldwide, there
are today several operational large scale projects, along with
numerous smaller facilities, demonstrating specific
elements of the carbon capture process.
- In past year,
there were approximately 5,800 km of CO2 pipelines in the United
States, used to transport CO2 to oil production fields where it
is then injected into older fields to extract oil. The injection
of CO2 to produce oil is generally called Enhanced Oil Recovery
or EOR.
- Econamine FGSM (EFG)
is a Fluor proprietary amine-based technology for large scale
post-combustion CO2 capture.
- Carbon dioxide
capture can be used for the following applications: CO2
sequestration, Enhanced oil recovery (EOR), Merchant CO2 sales,
Chemical feedstock production.
- Carbon capture and
storage (CCS) technologies capture carbon dioxide (CO2) at
industrial point sources, such as fossil-fuel combustion,
natural gas refining, ethanol production and cement
manufacturing plants.
- CO2 capture from
plants of conventional pulverized fuel (pf) technology with
scrubbing of the flue gas for CO2 removal, here called
post-combustion capture (PCC).
- Integrated
gasification combined cycle (IGCC) with a shift reactor to
convert CO to CO2, followed by CO2 capture, which is often
called pre-combustion capture, here called IGCCCCS.
- Oxy-fuel (Oxyf)
combustion, with combustion in oxygen rather than air, and the
oxygen is diluted with an external recycle flue gas
(RFG) to reduce its combustion temperature and add gas to carry
the combustion energy through the heat transfer operations in
the current first generation technology.
- Oxy-combustion
with an internal recycle stream induced by the high momentum
oxygen jets in place of external recycle. This technology is now
widely used in the glass industry and, to a lesser extent, in
the steel industry.
- CO2 sequestration
technologies entailing of CO2 capture, transport and storage
underground or at depth at sea, could be an immediate potent
counter measure to global warming issues.
- Carbon capture and
storage costs depend on factors such as fuel, technology,
location, national circumstances and potential CO2 use.
- Carbon capture and
storage (CCS) is the process of removing or reducing the CO2
content of streams normally released to the atmosphere, and
transporting the captured CO2 to a location for permanent
storage.
- CO2 can be
captured from a wide range of large sources, such as process
streams, heater and boiler exhausts, and vents from a range of
industries, such as power generation, cement production,
refining, chemicals, steel and natural gas treating.
- Once captured, the
CO2 is compressed, dried and transported to a suitable storage
location such as saline aquifers, depleted oil fields and
depleted gas fields.
- A detailed
analysis of costs associated with today’s technology for carbon
dioxide separation and capture at three types of power plants:
integrated coal gasification combined cycles (IGCC), pulverized
coal-fired simple cycles (PC), and natural gas-fired combined
cycles (NGCC).
