Anthropogenic CO2 emissions has led to global climate change and widely contributed to global warming since its concentration has been increasing over time. It has attracted vast attention worldwide. Currently, the different CO2 capture technologies available include absorption, solid adsorption and membrane separation. Chemical absorption technology is regarded as the most mature technology and is commercially used in the industry. However, the key challenge is to find the most efficient solvent in capturing CO2. This paper reviews several types of CO2 capture technologies and the various factors influencing the CO2 absorption process, resulting in the development of a novel solvent for CO2 capture.

A concept for capturing and sequestering CO2 from a natural gas fired combined cycle power plant is presented. The present approach is to decarbonise the fuel prior to combustion by reforming natural gas, producing a hydrogen-rich fuel. The reforming process consists of an air-blown pressurised auto-thermal reformer that produces a gas containing H2, CO and a small fraction of CH4 as combustible components. The gas is then led through a water gas shift reactor, where the equilibrium of CO and H2O is shifted towards CO2 and H2. The CO2 is then captured from the resulting gas by chemical absorption. The gas turbine of this system is then fed with a fuel gas containing approximately 50% H2. In order to achieve acceptable level of fuel-to-electricity conversion efficiency, this kind of process is attractive because of the possibility of process integration between the combined cycle and the reforming process. A comparison is made between a “standard” combined cycle and the current process with CO2-removal. This study also comprise an investigation of using a lower pressure level in the reforming section than in the gas turbine combustor and the impact of reduced steam/carbon ratio in the main reformer. The impact on gas turbine operation because of massive air bleed and the use of a hydrogen rich fuel is discussed.

In this study, hollow fibers of commercial polyimide were arranged into membrane modules to test their capacity and performance towards natural gas processing. Particularly, the membranes were characterized for CO2/CH4 separation with and without exposure to some naturally occurring contaminants of natural gases, namely hydrogen sulfide, dodecane, and the mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene), referred to as BTX. Gas permeation experiments were conducted to assess the changes in the permeability of CO2 and CH4 and related separation selectivity. Compared to the properties determined for the pristine polyimide membranes, all the above pollutants (depending on their concentrations and the ensured contact time with the membrane) affected the permeability of gases, while the impact of various exposures on CO2/CH4 selectivity seemed to be complex and case-specific. Overall, it was found that the minor impurities in the natural gas could have a notable influence and should therefore be considered from an operational stability viewpoint of the membrane separation process.

Cement industry has always been among the largest industrial CO2 emission sources, accounting for 7% of global CO2 emission from stationary sources. CCS technology appears as a major option, in addition to fuel saving and fuel switching measures, able to mitigate CO2 emissions. This study evaluates the potential application of carbon capture in the Brazilian cement sector. Among the CO2 capture technologies studied, the only commercially available for the existing cement plants in Brazil is based on the post-combustion capture route, relying on chemical absorption. To calculate the potential of retroffiting Brazilian cement facilities, it was assumed that the steam and power needed by the capture plant would be generated from a cogeneration plant with natural gas or petroleum coke, or a petroleum coke boiler or even a natural gas boiler would generate steam, and power would be purchased from the grid. Findings indicated an abatement cost hovering between $ 114/tCO2 (in Southeast, South and Midwest of Brazil) and $ 117/tCO2 (in North and Northeast). The gross potential equaled 47 MtCO2/year, being reduced to 31 MtCO2/year after discounting the fraction withouth water availability to implement a carbon capture facility.
