Growing Importance of CCUS Technologies in Climate Mitigation

Global warming and climate change concerns are intensifying global efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO₂ into the atmosphere. To achieve net zero, large industrial emitters must decarbonize their operations. This involves capturing CO₂ at the source and managing it through CCUS technologies, which include reusing the CO₂ in other industrial processes to create valuable products or storing CO₂ safely underground.

Industries with significant point sources of CO₂ include cement, lime and electric power plants, iron and steel mills, chemical and petrochemical facilities. In addition, synthesis gases from the chemical industry and various processes in the oil and gas upstream sector are significant sources of CO₂ emissions.

CCUS technologies play a strategic role in meeting today's carbon emission reduction targets. To reach global net zero within the coming decades, investments in CCUS projects will have to be stepped up significantly.

Delivering the Best Technological Solution

Our broad technology portfolio is suited to a large variety of carbon-emitters across a broad CO₂ concentration envelope. Absorption-based technologies are typically preferred at the lower end of the concentration spectrum. For applications with higher CO₂ concentrations - such as flue gas from cement production or process gases from blue hydrogen production units -our flexible HISORP CC offerings are often the solution of choice. At the higher end of the spectrum, CO₂-rich streams from oxyfuel combustion and chemicals production can be easily captured and purified with our cryogenic technologies.

With over 40 years of experience in building carbon capture plants and flagship reference projects worldwide, we have the expertise and track record to cover source concentrations anywhere from below 10% to over 90% at various pressure levels and feed flows.

Our expert team can help you select the technology and configuration best suited to your capture and recovery targets.

This illustration gives an overview of Linde's tailored solutions for carbon capture. Depending on the CO₂ source and concentration, different CC technologies have unique advantages. Complementing our adsorption-based HISORP CC technology described in detail on this page, we also offer Advanced amine wash solution (HISOLV^TM), a Rectisol physical acid gas removal process and a cryogenic-based CO₂ Processing Unit (HITREAT^TM).

HISORP CC in Focus: 99+% CO₂ Capture Rates

HISORP CC is a sophisticated carbon capture toolbox that address the need for highly efficient capture and separation processes in various industries. This electrically driven technology is highly effective in capturing and purifying CO₂ from a wide range of carbon sources, building on our extensive expertise and proven success in pressure swing adsorption (PSA), cryogenic separation, CO₂ drying and compression.

The HISORP CC toolbox provides flexible and scalable solutions for diverse feed gas streams, covering all relevant industrial sizes and all purity levels. Each HISORP CC plant is individually designed to bring you the mature technologies best suited to meeting your individual needs.

HISORP CC is suitable for low-pressure sources, such as flue gases from combustion processes, for industries like cement, steel and power, and for hydrogen production by means of steam methane reforming (SMR). Additionally, it removes CO₂ from sour gas sources throughout the oil and gas lifecycle and can be tailored for CO₂ capture rates above 95%.

For high-pressure sources, particularly high-pressure synthesis gases in hydrogen production processes, HISORP CC effectively captures CO₂ emissions from autothermal reformers, partial oxidation processes, steam methane reformers and gasification units. By integrating our advanced in-house adsorptive and cryogenic technologies, it achieves CO₂ capture rates of 99+% while preserving the hydrogen product.

HISORP CC is based on a toolbox concept. It is an advanced, electrically driven carbon capture technology designed to efficiently capture and purify CO₂ from diverse industrial gas streams. Leveraging our expertise in pressure swing adsorption (PSA), cryogenic separation, drying and compression, HISORP CC offers flexible solutions for different deployment scenarios including low-carbon hydrogen production, the removal of CO₂ from flue gases and carbon capture from sour gas sources. It achieves high CO₂ capture rates and supports multiple product forms (gaseous, liquid and supercritical).

HISORP CC Features

Many key features make HISORP CC a superior choice for CO₂ capture in various industries:

• 100% electrically driven: Operates entirely on electrical power with no steam required.
• Flexible toolbox concept: Can be tailored to your needs with flexibility in size and scale, ranging from around 100 to more than 10,000 tpd of CO₂.
• Adaptable CO₂ product requirements: HISORP CC can be adjusted to various CO₂ product requirements (gaseous, liquid, supercritical) and purity grades - extending from industrial to food and beverage grade.
• Packaged unit design: Pre-manufactured and workshop-tested modules mean transportation, erection and commissioning effort are minimal.
• Chemical-free operation: Lower OPEX for consumables and lower environmental impact as chemical washing agents are not required, which means no effort for handling, makeup or disposal of degradation products and no emissions from chemical agents.
• Cost effectiveness: Low costs overall through CAPEX and OPEX savings.
• Ideal for retrofits: Optimum solution also for plant retrofits due to high level of integration flexibility.
