“…The investment cost for CO 2 capture applied in this study is adopted from our previous work (Garðarsdóttir et al, 2018). In that work, the capital cost (CAPEX) was estimated with a detailed individual factor estimation method and considered the treated volume flow of gases and the flue gas CO 2 concentration of the individual stacks at each site.…”

“…This work follows our previous work (Garðarsdóttir et al, 2018) using Sweden as a case study. Sweden is a heavily industrialized region and in addition to being representative for a region with large industrial emission sources, there are also large biogenic emission sources whereas electricity and heat generation have low fossil-fuel based carbon emissions (23 g CO 2 /kWh produced), with plans to phase out or shift fuel in the remaining fossil-fuel plants.…”

“…Yet, the specific capture cost (€/t CO 2 ) applying post combustion, will depend on which process to which it is applied, such as if there is access to internal excess heat to power part of the capture process and on the CO 2 concentration in the flue gas and the size of the flue gas flow. The capture cost typically decreases with increased concentration in the flue gas and increased size of the flue gas flow (Garðarsdóttir et al, 2018), although this is not necessarily valid in the cases where there is access to excess heat within the process to which CCS is applied. Two recent examples from the iron and steel industry are given by Sundqvist et al (2018), who investigate alternatives for partial CO 2 capture in the steel industry by utilizing excess heat to power the capture process, and Mandova et al (2019) who explore the CO 2 emission reduction potential of bio-CCS in European steel industry.…”

“…Onarheim et al (2015) mapped the potential for CCS in the Nordic countries and highlight the sources with highest potential. Following their work, our recent study, (Garðarsdóttir et al, 2018), mapped the investment required to install carbon capture (amine absorption) at all industrial sites in Sweden with annual emissions of 500 kt CO 2 or more (fossil and biogenic), which corresponds to more than 80% of the CO 2 emissions from the basic industry. While site-specific conditions were considered for the estimation of capital costs, the steam cost was assumed to be the same for all sites in this study.…”

“…As in our previous work (Garðarsdóttir et al, 2018) we investigate industrial emission sources in Sweden of at least 500 kt CO 2 /a. In this study we extend our previous study by also considering differences between the site's potential for using excess heat to cover the heat demand of an amine-based capture process.…”

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is expected to play a key role to achieve deep emission cuts in the energy intensive industry sector. The implementation of carbon capture comes with a considerable investment cost and a significant effect on the plants operating cost, which both depend on site conditions, mainly due to differences in flue gas flow and composition and depending on the availability of excess heat that can be utilized to power the capture unit. In this study we map the costs required to install and operate amine-based post-combustion CO 2 capture at all manufacturing plants in Sweden with annual emissions of 500 kt CO 2 or more, of both fossil and of biogenic origin, of which there are 28 plants (including a petrochemical site, refineries, iron and steel plants, cement plants and pulp and paper mills). The work considers differences in the investment required as well as differences in potential for using excess heat to cover the steam demand of the capture process. We present the resulting total CO 2 capture costs in the form of a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) for the emission sources investigated. Cost estimations for a transport and storage system are also indicated. The MACC shows that CO 2 capture applied to 28 industrial units capture CO 2 emissions corresponding to more than 50% of Swedish total CO 2 emissions (from all sectors) at a cost ranging from around 40 €/t CO 2 to 110 €/t CO 2 , depending on emission source. Partial capture from the most suited sites may reduce capture cost and, thus, may serve as a low-cost option for introducing CCS. The cost for transport and storage will add some 25 to 40 €/t CO 2 , depending on location and type of transportation infrastructure.

Economic assessment of the development of CO2 direct reduction technologies in long-term climate strategies of the Gulf countries

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper proposes an assessment of long-term climate strategies for oil- and gas-producing countries—in particular, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states—as regards the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the increase of surface air temperature to 2°C by the end of the twenty-first century. The study evaluates the possible role of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies under an international emissions trading market as a way to mitigate welfare losses. To model the strategic context, one assumes that a global cumulative emissions budget will have been allocated among different coalitions of countries—the GCC being one of them—and the existence of an international emissions trading market. A meta-game model is proposed in which deployment of CDR technologies as well as supply of emission rights are strategic variables and the payoffs are obtained from simulations of a general equilibrium model. The results of the simulations indicate that oil and gas producing countries and especially the GCC countries face a significant welfare loss risk, due to “unburnable oil” if a worldwide climate regime as recommended by the Paris Agreement is put in place. The development of CDR technologies, in particular direct air capture (DAC) alleviates somewhat this risk and offers these countries a new opportunity for exploiting their gas reserves and the carbon storage capacity offered by depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
