Abstract

Industry emits approximately 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ each year (1 GTCO₂/yr) in the United States–one-third of US stationary emissions–and an even greater amount in industry-heavy China. We hypothesize that capturing industrial CO₂ offers a near-term pathway to jumpstart CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) and is a long-term necessity to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ in order to avoid catastrophic climate impacts. We then explore this proposition using several new CO₂ emissions and storage databases for the United States, as well as emerging research including the economics of industrial CO₂ capture. We refer to our new “sources of CO₂ that are not electricity” database as SCO₂NE.

California CO₂ Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (C2SAFE): Final Technical Report

Technical Report Trautz, Robert ; Swisher, Joseph ; Chiaramonte, Laura ; ...

The California CO₂ Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (C2SAFE) project conducted a preliminary study into the feasibility of a commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage complex located in California’s Southern San Joaquin Valley (SSJV). The work represents the first phase of a multi-phased development approach outlined by the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Carbon Storage Assurance and Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) program meant to develop carbon storage sites capable of permanently storing 50 million metric tonnes of CO₂, or greater, injected over a typical facility life of 20 to 30 years. This report represents the culmination of work performed under C2SAFE andmore »« less

Great SCOT! Rapid tool for carbon sequestration science, engineering, and economics

Journal Article Middleton, Richard S. ; Chen, Bailian ; Harp, Dylan R. ; ... - Applied Computing and Geosciences

CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) technology is likely to be widely deployed in the coming decades in response to major climate and economics drivers: CCS is part of every clean energy pathway that limits global warming to 2 °C or less and receives significant CO₂ tax credits in the United States. These drivers are likely to stimulate the capture, transport, and storage of hundreds of millions or billions of tonnes of CO₂ annually. A key part of the CCS puzzle will be identifying and characterizing suitable storage sites for vast amounts of CO₂. We introduce a new software tool calledmore »« less

Initial Engineering and Design for CO₂ Capture from Ethanol Facilities

Technical Report Leroux, Kerryanne M. ; Kay, John P. ; Beddoe, Christopher J. ; ...

The Energy & Environmental Research Center, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and North Dakota ethanol producer Red Trail Energy, LLC (RTE) and with technical support from Trimeric Corporation and the KLJ engineering firm, completed an initial engineering design (IED) for a hybrid capture system to estimate associated costs for retrofitting the operational RTE ethanol plant. The project goal supports the DOE objective to achieve negative emissions using commercially available technologies to attain Technology Readiness Level 6+ from a facility emitting >100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) annually. The RTE CCS (carbon capture and storage) Project ismore »« less

Identifying cost-effective CO{sub 2} control levels for amine-based CO{sub 2} capture systems

Journal Article Rao, A B ; Rubin, E S - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Studies of CO{sub 2} capture and storage (CCS) from coal-fired power plants typically assume a capture efficiency near 90%, although the basis for a particular choice usually is not discussed. Nor do studies systematically explore a range of CO{sub 2} capture efficiencies to identify the most cost-effective levels of CO, control and the key factors that affect such levels. An exploration of these issues is the focus of this paper. As part of the United States Department of Energy's Carbon Sequestration Program, we have developed an integrated modeling framework (called IECM-cs) to evaluate the performance and cost of alternative CCSmore »« less

Jumpstarting commercial-scale CO₂ capture and storage with ethylene production and enhanced oil recovery in the US Gulf

Journal Article Middleton, Richard S. ; Levine, Jonathan S. ; Bielicki, Jeffrey M. ; ... - Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology

Abstract CO ₂ capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology has yet to be widely deployed at a commercial scale despite multiple high‐profile demonstration projects. We suggest that developing a large‐scale, visible, and financially viable CCUS network could potentially overcome many barriers to deployment and jumpstart commercial‐scale CCUS. To date, substantial effort has focused on technology development to reduce the costs of CO ₂ capture from coal‐fired power plants. Here, we propose that near‐term investment could focus on implementing CO ₂ capture on facilities that produce high‐value chemicals/products. These facilities can absorb the expected impact of the marginal increase in themore »« less
