“…Each technology has (Wang et al, 2011;Hasan et al, 2012a;Rao and Rubin, 2002;Mores et al, 2011;Rochelle, 2006, 2009;Pellegrini et al, 2011;Rodríguez et al, 2011; Oexmann et al, 2008;Harkin et al, 2010). However, the cost of post-combustion CO 2 capture from power plants using absorption technology, based on monoethanol amine (MEA) solvent, is currently over $70 per metric ton of CO 2 avoided (Raksajati et al, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tWe present a multi-scale framework for the optimal design of CO 2 capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) supply chain network to minimize the cost while reducing stationary CO 2 emissions in the United States. We also design a novel CO 2 capture and utilization (CCU) network for economic benefit through utilizing CO 2 for enhanced oil recovery. Both the designs of CCUS and CCU supply chain networks are multi-scale problems which require decision making at material, process and supply chain levels. We present a hierarchical and multi-scale framework to design CCUS and CCU supply chain networks with minimum investment, operating and material costs. While doing so, we take into consideration the selection of source plants, capture processes, capture materials, CO 2 pipelines, locations of utilization and sequestration sites, and amounts of CO 2 storage. Each CO 2 capture process is optimized, and the best materials are screened from large pool of candidate materials. Our optimized CCUS supply chain network can reduce 50% of the total stationary CO 2 emission in the U.S. at a cost of $35.63 per ton of CO 2 captured and managed. The optimum CCU supply chain network can capture and utilize CO 2 to make a total profit of more than 555 million dollars per year ($9.23 per ton). We have also shown that more than 3% of the total stationary CO 2 emissions in the United States can be eliminated through CCU networks at zero net cost. These results highlight both the environmental and economic benefits which can be gained through CCUS and CCU networks. We have designed the CCUS and CCU networks through (i) selecting novel materials and optimized process configurations for CO 2 capture, (ii) simultaneous selection of materials and capture technologies, (iii) CO 2 capture from diverse emission sources, and (iv) CO 2 utilization for enhanced oil recovery. While we demonstrate the CCUS and CCU networks to reduce stationary CO 2 emissions and generate profits in the United States, the proposed framework can be applied to other countries and regions as well.

“…In such plants many authors have investigated how to minimise the energy penalty associated with CCS. For example, Harkin et al (2010) present an overview of resent energy measures of CCS connected to the power industry. Several alternatives for integrating the pre-heating of the boiler feed water are suggested such as using part of the stripper condensing energy, utilising some of the heat from the CO 2 compressor intercoolers or utilising heat from both the stripper condenser and the CO 2 compressor intercoolers.…”

“…Calin-Cristian (2010) evaluates the energy integration aspects for an IGCC with CO 2 capture in order to maximise the overall plant energy efficiency by using pinch analysis. Harkin et al (2010) combine pinch analysis with linear programming in order to examine the heat integration of the CO 2 capture plant. The latter study shows that the energy penalty can be reduced up to 50% by including effective heat integration.…”

“…The second article, titled, "Reducing the Energy Penalty of CO 2 Capture and Compression Using Pinch Analysis," was written by Trent Harkin, Andrew Hoadley and Barry Hooper from the University of Melbourne and Monash University in Australia (Harkin et al, 2010). The authors focus upon integration of CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) into coal fired power stations.…”
