The impact of climate change is one of the biggest and most complicated challenges facing society today Emissions of GHG will increase the average global temperature by 1.1 to 6.4oC by the end of the 21st century [1], according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A global warming of more than 2oC increase in global average temperature will lead to serious consequences. The question is: how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? 1 WHY IS CCS CO2 is the most important GHG, and anthropogenic CO2 emissions are mainly a consequence of fossil fuels being the most important global energy sources. Enhanced energy efficiency and increased renewable energy production will reduce CO2 emissions, but according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy efficiency and renewable energy do not have the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions as much as IPCC’s target, i.e. 50 to 80 percent by 2050 [3]. And CO2 Capture and Storage has considered as a potential to reduce global CO2 emissions 2 CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE Presented by: Dao Nha Tam 3 OUTLINE Introduction Capture technologies Transport Storage Conclusion 4 WHAT IS CCS Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the term that applies to an array of technologies through which carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured at industrial point sources such as fossil-fuel combustion, natural gas refinining… Once captured, the CO2 gas is compressed into a supercritical phase and transported to a suitable location for injection into a very deep geologic formation. Once injected, the CO2 is isolated from the drinking water supplies and prevented from release into the atmosphere. 6 7 CARBON CAPTURE CO2 capture refers to the separation of CO2 from the other components in the flue gas or process stream of a power plant or an industrial facility. CO2 capture technologies have been applied at small scales to point sources of CO2, with the CO2 being used for various purposes. 8 CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY Three main approaches are used to capture CO2 from power plants: Post-combustion capture Flue gas Pre-combustion capture Syngas Subcritical pulverized coal, SCPC Ultra-supercritical pulverized coal, USCPC Circulating fluidized bed, CFB integrated gasification combined cycle ,IGCC Oxy-fuel combustion In an oxygen-rich environment 9 POST-COMBUSTION 10 PRE-COMBUSTION 11 OXY-FUEL COMBUSTION 12 METHODS FOR SEPARATING CO2 Solvent absorption process Adsorption process Membranes Solid sorbents Cryogenic separation by distillation or freezing 13 SOLVENT ABSORPTION PROCESS Solvent absorption is currently industry method for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial waste gas and for purifying natural gas as well as from syngas Absorption processes make use of the reversible nature of the chemical reaction of an aqueous alkaline solvent, usually an amine, with an acid or sour gas 14 SOLVENT ABSORPTION PROCESS 15 ADSORPTION PROCESS Adsorption processes have been employed for CO2 removal from synthesis gas for hydrogen production. It has not yet reached a commercial stage for CO2 recovery from flue gases In the adsorption process for flue gas CO2 recovery, molecular sieves or activated carbons are used in adsorbing CO2. Desorbing CO2 is then done by the pressure swing operation (PSA) or temperature swing operation (TSA). The TSA technique is less attractive compared to PSA due to the longer cycle times needed to heat up the bed of solid particles during sorbent regeneration. 16 ADSORPTION PROCESS PSA processes rely on pressure, gases tend to be attracted to solid surfaces, or "adsorbed". The higher the pressure, the more gas is adsorbed; when the pressure is reduced, the gas is released, or desorbed. PSA processes can be used to separate gases in a mixture because different gases tend to be attracted to different solid surfaces more or less strongly Adsorbents for PSA systems are usually very porous materials chosen because of their large surface areas. Typical adsorbents are activated carbon, silica gel, alumina and zeolite 17 MEMBRANES Membrane processes are used commercially for CO2 removal from natural gas at high pressure and at high CO2 concentration. The membrane option currently receiving the most attention is a hybrid membrane – absorbent (or solvent) system. These systems are being developed for flue gas CO2 recovery. Membranes provide a very high surface area between a gas stream and a solvent. And the membrane forms a gas permeable barrier between a liquid and a gaseous phase 18 MEMBRANES In general, the membrane is not involved in the separation process. In the case of porous membranes, gaseous components diffuse through the pores and are absorbed by the liquid; in cases of non-porous membranes they dissolve in the membrane and diffuse through the membrane. The selectivity of the partition is primarily determined by the absorbent (solvent). Absorption in the liquid phase is determined either by physical partition or by a chemical reaction. The advantages of this systems are avoidance of foaming, flooding entrainment and channeling occurring in conventional solvent absorption systems where gas and liquid flows are in direct contact. 19 SOLID SORBENTS The combustion flue gas is put in contact with the sorbent in a suitable reactor to allow the gas-solid reaction of CO2 with the sorbent (usually the carbonation of a metal oxide). The solid can be easily separated from the gas stream and sent for regeneration in a different reactor. Instead of moving the solids, the reactor can also be switched between sorption and regeneration modes of operation in a batch wise, cyclic operation. Sorbent has to have good CO2 absorption capacity, chemical and mechanical stability for long periods of operation in repeated cycles. So, sorbent performance and cost are critical issues in all postcombustion systems, and more elaborate sorbent materials are usually more expensive than commercial alternatives. 20 CRYOGENIC SEPARATION BY DISTILLATION Cryogenic separation unit are operated at extremely low temperature and high pressure to separate components according to their different boiling temperatures. Cryogenic separation is widely used commercially for purification of CO2 from streams that already have high CO2 concentration. The advantage of this method is producing liquid CO2 or pure CO2 gas stream in high pressure which would be liquefied more easily. There are some difficulties for applying this method as well. For dilute CO2 stream, the refrigeration energy is high. Water has to be removed before the cryogenic cooling step to avoid blockage from freezing. 21 TRANSPORT After capture, the CO2 would have to be transported to suitable storage sites. Although CO2 is transported via pipelines, ships, and tanker trucks for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other industrial operations, pipeline transport is considered to be the most cost-effective and reliable method of transporting CO2. Tanker Transport of CO2 Transporting CO2 via pipelines requires gas Supercritical (dense) or liquid state to reduce its volume. Dry, pure stream of CO2 to reduce the risk of pipeline corrosion Though mixed wet streams of CO2 can be transported they may require the use of corrosion-resistant steel, which is more expensive than the materials typically used. 22 STORAGE Various methods have been conceived for the storage ('sequestration') of carbon dioxide, including: Gaseous storage in various deep porous geological formations. Liquid storage in the deep ocean Solid storage by reaction of CO2 with metal oxides to produce stable. 23 GEOLOGICAL STORAGE Geological storage involves the injection of CO2 into permeable rock formations sealed by impermeable, dense rock units (cap rocks) more than 800 meters below the Earth’s surface. Geological storage involves a combination of physical and geochemical trapping mechanisms. 24 GEOLOGICAL STORAGE OPTIONS 25 OCEAN STORAGE There are three possibilities for using the ocean environment to store carbon: in geological formations under the seabed, on the seafloor, and in the water column of the deep ocean. CO2 in the atmosphere gradually dissolves into ocean surface water until an equilibrium is reached. However, the storage is not permanent. Once in the ocean, the CO2 eventually dissolves, disperses and returns to the atmosphere as part of the global carbon cycle. 26 OCEAN STORAGE 27 MINERAL CARBONATION Mineral carbonation is based on the reaction of CO2 with metal oxide bearing materials to form insoluble carbonates, with calcium and magnesium being the most attractive metals. In nature such a reaction is called silicate weathering and takes place on a geological time scale. Suitable materials may be abundant silicate rocks, serpentine and olivine minerals or industrial residues, such as slag from steel production or fly ash. 28 MINERAL CARBONATION With present technology there is always a net demand for high grade energy to drive the mineral carbonation process that is needed for: (i) the preparation of the solid reactants, including mining, transport, grinding and activation when necessary; (ii) the processing, including the equivalent energy associated with the use, recycling and possible losses of additives and catalysts; (iii) the disposal of carbonates and byproducts 29 CONCLUSTION Carbon capture and storage technologies could provide a partial solution to this dilemma by facilitating less costly reductions in carbon emissions through the continued use of fossil fuels. Despite significant experience with storage of CO2 and other substances in underground reservoirs, there is substantial uncertainty regarding how much CO2 such reservoirs can hold, how long injected CO2 would remain trapped, and whether injected CO2 would escape from storage reservoirs to other formations. The effects of ocean storage are even more uncertain, raise additional environmental concerns, and are more likely to generate controversy. Storage of CO2 as carbonates could lessen many of the concerns related to ocean storage but would generate other environmental concerns and would entail substantially higher storage costs. 30 REFERENCES [1] Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policymakers, February 2007, http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf.
