Summary: This study investigates public perceptions of applying CCS technology at the Port Talbot Steelworks in South Wales, finding that acceptance of CCS is influenced by trust and distrust towards local enterprises and governments, with most seeing CCS as beneficial to the plant.

Summary: In this study, the performance of a plate heat exchanger (PHE) was evaluated and compared to conventional shell and tube heat exchangers in terms of energy cost and capital cost. It was found that the PHE outperformed other heat exchangers economically and in emissions reduction. The optimal temperature approach for the PHE cases was achieved at 4 to 7 degrees Celsius, resulting in low energy consumption and indirect emissions. For the lean vapour compression CO2 capture process, the use of optimum PHE led to a 16% reduction in CO2 avoided cost, and considering the available excess heat further reduced costs by up to 34%.

Summary: The energy optimization modeling work aims to improve efficiency of existing coal-fired power plants through thermal integration for partial CO2 capture and reduction of energy requirements. The optimization of the post-combustion CO2 capture process helps offset efficiency and capacity losses incurred by retrofit or implementation of post-combustion CO2 capture.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of retrofitting CO2 capture processes to CHP plants in a city energy system context. The results show that both heat-driven and electricity-driven carbon capture processes can be used for retrofitting CHP plants without significantly affecting the district heating system operation or the costs of electricity and district heating in the city.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of a commercial-scale monoethanolamine (MEA)-based CO2 capture process in the iron and steel industries. Wash columns for the absorber and stripper were included, with the absorber wash column contributing slightly to the capture rate and the stripper wash column improving energy efficiency. The dimensions of the columns were determined for reliable and reasonable consideration.

Summary: This study proposes a multi-lateral horizontal well with a dual-tubing system to improve CO2 storage security and reduce the cost of CCS. By re-injecting produced brine, the MLHW-DT system enhances CO2 storage security and significantly reduces CCS cost compared to conventional brine production systems.

Summary: This study investigates the chemical conversion of CO2 at the vapor/liquid water interface using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and an enhanced sampling technique. The results reveal the instability of the zwitterion and carbamate ions at the interface, indicating the need for novel solvents to overcome limitations of current absorbents in the design of cost-effective capture systems for low CO2 partial pressure conditions.

Summary: This paper contributes to the development of improved guidelines for cost evaluation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) from industrial applications by discussing key challenges and factors often overlooked or insufficiently addressed in previous studies. Recommendations are given to consider different heat and power supply strategies, energy and carbon price scenarios, and factors affecting retrofitting costs and CO2 transport and storage. The importance of considering technological maturity level in assessing cost contingencies and uncertainties is also emphasized.

Summary: With the rapid development of economy and industrialization, the consumption of natural resources has increased dramatically, leading to environmental degradation caused by greenhouse gas emissions and industrial solid waste. Using natural minerals or industrial solid waste for carbon dioxide capture and utilization is considered a feasible and promising technology. This paper summarizes the carbonation pathways and carbon capture mechanisms of industrial solid wastes, particularly steel-making slags, and evaluates the effects of different carbonation pathways on the carbonation capacity of steel-making slags. Furthermore, it analyzes the industrial application status, challenges, and prospects of carbon dioxide carbonation technology of steel-making slags.

Summary: The study reviewed a large number of published studies on the costs of CO2 capture, finding that the results were grouped, homogenised and standardized, with statistical models developed for each category, allowing for the estimation of capture costs based on the amount of CO2 captured and the type of capture technology used.

Summary: Dispatchable power sources are essential for electricity system stability and security of supply. In the United Kingdom, small-scale gas turbines are currently used for this purpose. This study focuses on the inclusion of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in small-scale gas turbines and calculates the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE). The results show that the LCOE almost triples when CCS is added, due to economies of scale and low capacity factor. Future research should explore alternative forms of CO2 capture and different dispatchable power generation options.

Summary: The decarbonization of the iron and steel industry, accounting for a significant portion of global emissions, is essential for achieving carbon reduction targets while maintaining economic competitiveness. Carbon capture (CC) technologies play a critical role in this process. This review provides an analysis of the integration options for CC technologies in the BF-BOF steelmaking route, highlighting their potential in terms of energy penalty, carbon abatement, cost, and deployment considerations. The review identifies promising methods like chemical absorption, physical adsorption, oxy-blast furnace, calcium looping, Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift, and membranes for reducing carbon emissions. The article offers crucial insights for decision-making and addresses barriers to practical implementation.
