Course description
Carbon Capture from Stationary Industrial Sources - PF-82
This course provides an overview of the emerging field of CO2 capture from stationary industrial sources - primarily combustion operations. CO2 capture is part of the CCUS chain - CO2 Capture, Utilization and Storage - wherein CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere by removing it from flue gas or other vent streams, transported to an appropriate location, and injected deep underground into secure geologic formations. CCUS is viewed as a key component of Green House Gas (GHG) mitigation by IEA, as part of a migration to long term, sustainable energy systems. The focus of applications reviewed is operations in the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry and the Power industry. The course material is general in nature but is framed around process technologies for capture - most of which are used in the natural gas processing industry. The content does not cover compression and transport in detail. The material does not cover the technology and engineering in detail and serves mainly as an introduction to the few commercially proven options and the myriad of emerging technologies, along with representative costs.
