Solvent-based CO2 capture technologies hold promise for future implementation but conventional solvents incur significant energy penalties and capture costs. Phase-change solvents enable a significant reduction in the regeneration energy but their performance has only been investigated under steady-state operation. In the current work, we employed a systematic approach for the evaluation of conventional solvents and mixtures, as well as phase-change solvents under the influence of disturbances. Sensitivity analysis was used to identify the impact that operating parameter variations and different solvents exert on multiple CO2 capture performance indicators within a wide operating range. The resulting capture process performance was then assessed for each solvent within a multi-criteria approach, which simultaneously accounted for off-design conditions and nominal operation. The considered performance criteria included the regeneration energy, solvent mass flow rate, cost and cyclic capacity, net energy penalty from integration with an upstream power plant, and lost revenue from parasitic losses. The 10 investigated solvents included the phase-change solvents methyl-cyclohexylamine (MCA) and 2-(diethylamino)ethanol/3-(methylamino)propylamine (DEEA/MAPA). We found that the conventional mixture diethanolamine/methyldiethanolamine (DEA/MDEA) and the phase-change solvent DEEA/MAPA exhibited both resilience to disturbances and desirable nominal operation for multiple performance indicators simultaneously.

Intensive energy penalty caused by CO2 separation process is a critical obstacle for retrofitting power plant with carbon capture technology. Therefore, the concept of utilizing solar energy to assist solvent regeneration for post-combustion carbon capture power plant is proposed recently as a promising pathway to compensate the efficiency reduction derived from CO2 capture process. However, the feasibility of solar-assisted post-combustion (SPCC) technologies largely depends on the types of CO2 absorbent, categories of solar thermal collectors, areas of solar field and the integration of thermal energy storage system. Therefore, this paper conducts a comparative analysis on MEA-based and NH3-based SPCC power plants employing two types of solar collectors, i.e the vacuum tube (VT) and the parabolic through collector (PTC), with climate data of Tianjin City. Levelized costs of electricity and cost of CO2 removed are comparatively studied for both SPCC configurations. Results show that the proposed SPCC configurations are economically viable when the price of vacuum the tube (VT) is lower than 86.64$/m2 and 117.29$/m2 for the MEA-based and NH3-based SPCC power plant respectively. Meanwhile, the price of PTC should be less than 111.12$/m2 for the MEA-based and 114.51$/m2 for the NH3-based SPCC power plant. It is indicated that employing the VT for chilled NH3-based SPCC power plant offers a promising approach to reduce the energy penalty with attractive economic performance.

The hydrogen economy has received resurging interest in recent years, as more countries commit to net-zero CO2 emissions around the mid-century. “Blue” hydrogen from natural gas with CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is one promising sustainable hydrogen supply option. Although conventional CO2 capture imposes a large energy penalty, advanced process concepts using the chemical looping principle can produce blue hydrogen at efficiencies even exceeding the conventional steam methane reforming (SMR) process without CCS. One such configuration is gas switching reforming (GSR), which uses a Ni-based oxygen carrier material to catalyze the SMR reaction and efficiently supply the required process heat by combusting an off-gas fuel with integrated CO2 capture. The present study investigates the potential of advanced La-Fe-based oxygen carrier materials to further increase this advantage using a gas switching partial oxidation (GSPOX) process. These materials can overcome the equilibrium limitations facing conventional catalytic SMR and achieve direct hydrogen production using a water-splitting reaction. Results showed that the GSPOX process can achieve mild efficiency improvements relative to GSR in the range of 0.6–4.1%-points, with the upper bound only achievable by large power and H2 co-production plants employing a highly efficient power cycle. These performance gains and the avoidance of toxicity challenges posed by Ni-based oxygen carriers create a solid case for the further development of these advanced materials. If successful, results from this work indicate that GSPOX blue hydrogen plants can outperform an SMR benchmark with conventional CO2 capture by more than 10%-points, both in terms of efficiency and CO2 avoidance.
