Prospects of CO2 Utilization After Carbon Capture Process

EasyChair Preprint 5633

Abstract

It has been estimated that keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5 °C as per Paris agreement would be difficult to achieve; unless the efforts are significantly scaled up. For this purpose, both renewable energy resources and carbon capture should be employed to restrict the global warming effects. The carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) involves three stage: (i) carbon capture (ii) transportation and (iii) CO2 utilization or storage. The CO2 transportation is well established and would not significantly affect the overall CCUS project cost. Therefore, in-depth analysis is required to enhance the efficiency of carbon capture and CO2 utilization processes in order to make CCUS projects financially viable. In this study, available and proposed CO2 technologies are reviewed and analyzed. It is found that the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced coal bed methane (ECBM) recovery are more feasible and can be further improved. While other utilization processes are still in the development phase but have room for improvements that can make them feasible in the future

Keyphrases: CCUS, CO2 utilization, carbon capture, feasibility
