“…In recent study, Karjunen et al (2017) studied the application of CO 2 capture, transport, and intermediate storage logistics for Finnish energy system based on renewable energy sources. The cost of biogenic CO 2 for utilization varied between 40 and 44 €/t,CO 2 depending on applied future scenario.…”

Corporate image, European Emission Trading System and Environmental Regulations, encourage pulp industry to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions. Kraft pulp mills produce CO 2 mainly in combustion processes. The largest sources are the recovery boiler, the biomass boiler, and the lime kiln. Due to utilizing mostly biomass-based fuels, the CO 2 is largely biogenic. Capture and storage of CO 2 (CCS) could offer pulp and paper industry the possibility to act as site for negative CO 2 emissions. In addition, captured biogenic CO 2 can be used as a raw material for bioproducts. Possibilities for CO 2 utilization include tall oil manufacturing, lignin extraction, and production of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), depending on local conditions and mill-specific details. In this study, total biomass-based CO 2 capture and storage potential (BECCS) and potential to implement capture and utilization of biomass-based CO 2 (BECCU) in kraft pulp mills were estimated by analyzing the impacts of the processes on the operation of two modern reference mills, a Nordic softwood kraft pulp mill with integrated paper production and a Southern eucalyptus kraft pulp mill. CO 2 capture is energy-intensive, and thus the effects on the energy balances of the mills were estimated. When papermaking is integrated in the mill operations, energy adequacy can be a limiting factor for carbon capture implementation. Global carbon capture potential was estimated based on pulp production data. Kraft pulp mills have notable CO 2 capture potential, while the on-site utilization potential using currently available technologies is lower. The future of these processes depends on technology development, desire to reuse CO 2 , and prospective changes in legislation. Keywords Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage BECCS.

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is recognized by the European Union, along with carbon, capture and storage (CCS), as one of the main tools towards global warming mitigation. It has, thus, been extensively studied by various researchers around the world. The majority of the papers published so far focus on the individual stages of a CCU value chain (carbon capture, separation, purification, transportation, and transformation/utilization). However, a holistic approach, taking into account the matching and the interaction between these stages, is also necessary in order to optimize and develop technically and economically feasible CCU value chains. The objective of this contribution is to present the most important studies that are related to the individual stages of CCU and to perform a critical review of the major existing methods, algorithms and tools that focus on the simulation or optimization of CCU value chains. The key research gaps will be identified and examined in order to lay the foundation for the development of a methodology towards the holistic assessment of CCU value chains.

“…Capture of biogenic carbon dioxide from the outgoing flows from pulping is still a little studied subject (Leeson et al, 2017), but recent studies have found the application of BECCS in pulp mills technically feasible (IEAGHG, 2016;Kuparinen et al, 2019). Previous studies in this area have mainly focused on modeling of carbon capture integration in kraft pulp mill operation (Kuparinen et al, 2019;Onarheim et al, 2017a), estimation of costs (Fuss et al, 2018;IEAGHG, 2016;Karjunen et al, 2017;Onarheim et al, 2017b) or the possible scale or emission reduction potential (Leeson et al, 2017;Fuss et al, 2018;Kuparinen et al, 2019, IEA, 2020. The most studied capture method is the commercial monoethanolamine (MEA) post-combustion process (Karjunen et al, 2017;Leeson et al, 2017;Onarheim et al, 2017a).…”

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is one of the key negative emission technologies (NETs). Large-scale implementation of BECCS has been criticized of the associated increase in land use. The existing large Nordic pulp and paper production units enable BECCS deployment without additional land use, as they currently release large amounts of bio-based carbon dioxide (CO2). The application of BECCS in pulp mills has been found technically feasible in earlier studies. This study explores key factors that affect the propensity to invest in BECCS in different types of existing European pulp and paper mills. The results give fresh understanding on the effects of BECCS on the market price of pulp and paper products and the required level of incentives. Based on statistical data, the marginal carbon dioxide credit (€ per ton CO2) to make BECCS profitable was derived. The results show that the required level of credit greatly depends on the mill type and details and that the feasibility of BECCS does not clearly correlate with the economic performance or the measured efficiency of the mill. The most promising mill type, a market kraft pulp mill, would find BECCS profitable with a credit in the range of 62–70 €/tCO2 and a credit of 80 €/tCO2 would decrease pulp production costs by 15 €/tproduct on average if 50% of CO2 emissions was captured. The EU Emission Trading System (ETS) is the main policy instrument to achieve the climate targets related to fossil energy use, but does not yet contemplate bio-based emissions.
