The objective of this study is to provide an estimate of the cost to capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from select industrial processes (ammonia, ethylene oxide, ethanol, natural gas processing, coal-to-liquids, gas-to-liquids, refinery hydrogen, cement, iron/steel, and pulp/paper). Each of the ten processes were chosen for analysis due to either the high purity of the CO₂ emission source (99–100 mole percent CO₂) or the large quantity of CO₂ potentially available. For each industrial process considered, available plant information, such as existing average plant size, projected new development plant size, or existing plant operations data was used to develop a reference plant for this study.
