There are three different carbon capture strategies to choose from, depending on the source of the gas:
Many chemical applications rely on CO2 scrubbing. Oxyfuel technology is an ideal way to increase the efficiency of combustion processes in new power plants. Post-combustion capture (PCC) is targeted specifically at flue gas in existing power or cement plants. Typically using a solvent to chemically absorb the CO2 from the flue gases after the combustion process. Or the latest addition to our carbon capture portfolio, HISORP® CC, where CO2 is captured from flue gas or other process gases over a wide range of CO2 feed concentrations.
The captured gas can be used commercially – for example as food-grade CO2, to enhance oil recovery (EOR) or as a feedstock for the production of commodities like methanol or urea. Alternatively, it can be stored underground (sequestered) as a carbon abatement measure.
The captured CO2 can be further purified and liquefied for use in chemical or other industry processes. Alternatively, it can be purified to food-grade level and used in the production of food and beverages.
Complementing our carbon capture offering, we also specialise in CO2 purification, liquefaction, storage and distribution technologies. We offer a range of prefabricated, standardised solutions to accelerate deployment and maximise cost efficiencies. Supporting the full capacity spectrum, we also design and deliver customised plants.
