Reactive absorption with an aqueous solution of amines in an absorber/stripper loop is the most mature technology for postcombustion CO 2 capture (PCC). However, most of the commercial-scale CO 2 capture plant designs that have been reported in the open literature are based on values of CO 2 loadings and/or solvent circulation rates without an openly available techno-economic consideration. As a consequence, most of the reported designs may be suboptimal, and some of them appear to be unrealistic from practical and operational viewpoints. In this paper, four monoethanolamine (MEA) based CO 2 capture plants have been optimally designed for both gas-fired and coal-fired power plants based on process and economic analyses. We have found that the optimum lean CO 2 loading for MEA-based CO 2 capture plants that can service commercialscale power plants, whether natural-gas-fired or coal-fired, is about 0.2 mol/mol for absorber and stripper columns packed with Sulzer Mellapak 250Y structured packing. Also, the optimum liquid/gas ratio for a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant with a flue gas composition of approximately 4 mol % CO 2 is about 0.96, while the optimum liquid/gas ratio for a pulverized-coal-fired (PC) power plant can range from 2.68 to 2.93 for a flue gas having a CO 2 composition that ranges from 12.38 to 13.50 mol %.

CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, is considered a promising technology to abate CO2 emissions from point sources. The present review deals with the principle of postcombustion capture techniques, including thermal or pressure swing principles, adsorption or absorption, and electrical swing or membrane separation processes.Opportunities and challenges are assessed. In the first section of absorption processes, several commercial technologies are compared, and complemented by the aqueous or chilled ammonia (NH3) process, and a dual or strong alkali absorption. The second section deals with adsorption where fixed beds, circulating fluidized beds and countercurrent bed configurations will be discussed, with special focus on the different adsorbents ranging from zeolites or activated carbon, to more complex aminefunctionalized adsorbents, nanotubes or metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and alkali-

“…The technology of choice is the Fluor EconamineFG Plus SM process and the captured CO 2 will be used in EOR processes at the West Ranch Oil field, where it is expected to increase oil production from 500 to 15000 barrels per day [40]. The Fluor EconamineFG Plus SM system is based on 30 wt-% MEA with inhibitors and has been tested in pilot scale facilities in Germany [41].…”

Currently, a large proportion of global fossil fuel emissions originate from large point sources such as power generation or industrial processes. This trend is expected to continue until the year 2030 and beyond. Carbon capture and storage (CCS), a straightforward and effective carbon reduction approach, will play a significant role in reducing emissions from these sources into the future if atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions are to be stabilized and global warming limited below a threshold of 2°C. This review provides an update on the status of large scale integrated CCS technologies using solvent absorption for CO 2 capture and provides an insight into the development of new solvents, including advanced amine solvents, amino acid salts, carbonate systems, aqueous ammonia, immiscible liquids and ionic liquids. These proposed new solvents aim to reduce the overall cost CO 2 capture by improving the CO 2 absorption rate, CO 2 capture capacity, thereby reducing equipment size and decreasing the energy required for solvent regeneration.
