“…Mapping sources and quantities can identify the availability of CO 2 as a feedstock. In Europe, it is mandatory to publish emission data if it exceeds 0.1 Mt/year, enabling the locations of CO 2 emissions to be mapped (Armstrong et al, 2019). Suitable CO 2 emissions that are easy to extract arise from the paper pulp industry (31.4 Mt/year), integrated (integrated coal gasification combined cycle) thermal coal plants (3.7 Mt/year), iron and steel manufacturing (151.3 Mt/year), and cement kilns (119.4 Mt/year) (Naims, 2016;Armstrong et al, 2019).…”

“…An LCA can be used to assess the environmental impacts of products or services, being not limited to climate change only but also the other impacts, such as resource depletion (Bui et al, 2018). According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 14040, 2006), an LCA consists of the four interdependent phases, as shown in Figure 5 (Armstrong et al, 2019). Artz et al (2018) state that LCA studies for identical CCU technologies can also vary, so standardization of an LCA assessment is important under a general framework structured by ISO.…”

Mineralization Technology for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a technology approach to the management of anthropogenic carbon dioxide gas emissions to the atmosphere. By injecting CO 2 into host rocks, or by employing a an ex situ application step, geological formations can react with and store huge volumes of CO 2 as carbonate minerals. An alternative mineral feedstock material is the Gt of industrial process wastes that are often disposed to landfill. By applying an accelerated carbonation step to solid waste, there is potential to sequestrate meaningful quantities of CO 2 in carbonate-cemented products that have reuse potential. The manufacture of carbonated aggregates is commercially established in Europe, and recent advances in technology include a mobile plant that directly utilizes flue-gas derived CO 2 in the mineralisation process. The present work discusses the basis for mineralization in geologically derived minerals and industrial wastes, with a focus being on the manufacture of products with value. An assessment of mineralized construction aggregates suggests that carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology can manage significant quantities of this CO 2 .

Techno-Economic Assessment Guidelines for CO2 Utilization

Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is an emerging technology field that can replace fossil carbon value chains, and that has a significant potential to achieve emissions mitigation or even "negative emissions"-however in many cases with challenging technology feasibility and economic viability. Further challenges arise in the decision making for CCU technology research, development, and deployment, in particular when allocating funding or time resources. No generally accepted techno-economic assessment (TEA) standard has evolved, and assessment studies often result in "apples vs. oranges" comparisons, a lack of transparency and a lack of comparability to other studies. A detailed guideline for systematic techno-economic (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) for CCU technologies was developed; this paper shows a summarized version of the TEA guideline, which includes distinct and prioritized (shall and should) rules and which allows conducting TEA in parallel to LCA. The TEA guideline was developed in a co-operative and creative approach with roughly 50 international experts and is based on a systematic literature review as well as on existing best practices from TEA and LCA from the areas of industry, academia, and policy. To the best of our knowledge, this guideline is the first TEA framework with a focus on CCU technologies and the first that is designed to be conducted in parallel to LCA due to aligned vocabulary and assessment steps, systematically including technology maturity. Therefore, this work extends current literature, improving the design, implementation, and reporting approaches of TEA studies for CCU technologies. Overall, the application of this TEA guideline aims at improved comparability of TEA studies, leading to improved decision making and more efficient allocation of funds and time resources for the research, development, and deployment of CCU technologies.

Concerns related to increasing CO 2 emission and its effects on global warming and climate change have been increased with increasing the global consumption of fossil fuels. One solution to respond to this challenge is the development and utilization of carbon capturing and storage technologies. Among different carbon capturing technologies, direct air capture (DAC) reduces CO 2 emissions from air. While the technology readiness level (TRL) of DAC is in the demonstration stage, identifying the commercialization research gaps and possible opportunities can help with diffusion and adoption of the technology. This research uses a knowledge discovery in research databases, based on bibliometric analysis and data mining, to understand DAC research and development's current status and future. Then, we identify the critical areas of the research gap for commercialization. The bibliometric analysis results show that DAC has not yet reached its maturity level compared with other carbon capture technologies (CCTs). However, there are different opportunities for the development of this technology.The results indicate that (a) new systematic designs, improvement in nano-catalysts, increase in the capturing capacity, (b) economic and investment improvements in combination with the environmental assessment of the optimized DAC technology, (c) assessment of future prospects, (d) integration with alternative energy supply sources especially renewable energy to respond to the required energy and process integration with current carbon emitted processes, (e) technology demonstration and readiness assessment, and (f) policy and uncertainty analysis of the market are the key areas that should be investigated for the success of this technology in the competitive market.
