CO2 Capture Integration and Use

CO2 capture integration and use is led by SINTEF Energy Research, with extensive experience over more than a decade in systematic CO2 capture integration.

Optimal capture integration

A systematic, transparent and consistent CO2 capture integration approach will be applied in the four industrial sectors.

To find the optimal integration of the Saipem & Prospin technology, focus will be to optimize cost minimization with design complexity. A generic reference amine (defined in WP9) will be used as a baseline.

KPIs will include, but not be limited to, cost of CO2 avoided, cost of end product, energy consumption, amount of biogenic CO2 avoided.

SP2 Work Packages

CO2 capture integration and use is led by SINTEF Energy Research, with extensive experience over more than a decade in systematic CO2 capture integration.

Work Package 5: Pulp and Paper Capture
  • Capture integration in virgin feedstock chemical pulp mills and market pulp/recycled fibre paper mills, using reference amine and Saipem solvent technology.
  • Quantifying tail-end capture costs, and cost reductions obtainable with process integration (goal: 15-20% cut).
  • Estimating potential and cost for CDR from pulp and paper mills in Europe.
Work Package 6: Cement Capture and Use
  • Capture integration of Saipem solvent technology in the HC Gorazdze kiln (which is also a Saipem & Prospin pilot test site).
  • Use of Linde amine based post-combustion capture technology in the HC Hannover kiln, with first a tail-end capture study, and a radically new, highly integrated study that is one of the three ACCSESS major innovations.
  • Development from TRL5 to TRL7 of the NEU CO2 utilization process for carbonation of demolition fines.
Work Package 7: Waste to Energy (WtE) Capture
  • Integration of post-combustion capture with the WtE air pollutant control system to explore synergies.
  • Optimal integration of a reference amine and Saipem solvent technology in WtE plants, in particular evaluating the impact on different regeneration temperatures and interconnection with district heating system.
  • Identification of the role and value of WtE plants with CO2 capture in a city energy system (feeding into WP12).
Work Package 8: Biorefinery Capture and Clusters
  • A systematic approach for identifying optimal capture configurations and clustering in a biorefinery.
  • Development of a tool for optimal design in industrial clusters, drawing on the fact that a refinery in itself is a mini cluster where emission sources have different CO2 concentrations and flowrates.
  • Quantification of the potential for the Saipem & Prospin technology in a refinery, where there is a severe space constraint
