Abstract:
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) in valuable products offers the possibility of reducing unavoidable process emissions and offsetting process costs. The development of an effective CCU process requires a comprehensive feasibility study; however, it is not obvious which options are most appropriate for this. The current study proposes to identify the most promising CCU options by applying a set of criteria developed to represent different aspects of the utilization process: CO2 specific mass in the product, CO2 utilization potential (CUP), technology readiness level (TRL), resource use, requirements for CO2 quality, and health, safety, and environment (HSE) considerations. A detailed analysis of the most promising options identified in this paper will be carried out in a later study. Since few products provide permanent storage, this study separately evaluates options which have a shorter storage time, provided that the captured CO2 could be used instead of fossil feedstock in production processes. The evaluation was carried out for a Finnish cement plant, using data in the literature to describe and analyze the utilization options.
