A new sustainable solid carbon catalyst has been developed for biodiesel synthesis using pyrolytic coconut shell ash (CSA). The CSA support was loaded with various amounts of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), and response surface methodology with a central composite design was used to optimize the transesterification process. The best-performing catalyst was the 30 wt % K2CO3/CSA catalyst. The optimal conditions included a catalyst loading of 3.27 wt %, methanol:oil molar ratio of 9.98:1, reaction time of 74 min, and temperature of 65 °C, resulting in an obtained biodiesel yield of 97.14%. This catalyst was reusable for up to four cycles, but a reduction in the biodiesel yield was observed due to potassium ion leaching during the recovery process. A techno-economic analysis to assess the financial viability of the project revealed a net present value of 5.16 million USD for a project lifetime of 20 years, a payback period time of 2.49 years, and an internal rate of return of 44.2%. An environmental assessment to evaluate the impact of global warming potential from the production of biodiesel revealed a lower level of carbon dioxide emission (1401.86 ton/y) than in the conventional process (1784.6 ton/y).

“…And the years ahead, what's more, it is estimated that fossil fuels will remain the primary energy source for decades (Agarwal et al, 2010;Scott et al, 2013;Shah et al, 2023). And the massive consumption of fossil fuels will continue to generate large amounts of CO 2 emissions (Chen et al, 2018;Chuenphan et al, 2022). So, it will still accelerate global warming, glacier melting, seawater acidification, sea level rise and other greenhouse effect problems (Doney et al, 2009;Foster and Rohling, 2013;Xiao et al, 2016;Sun et al, 2022).…”

In recent years, the rapid increase of CO2 emission has caused severe environmental issues. The environmental concern has made how to reduce the carbon emissions become a hot topic. Many scholars and research teams believe that the organic amine chemical absorption technology is the most favored and promising carbon capture technology due to its highly CO2 removal effectiveness. However, it is not applied wildly in industrial environment since the desorption process energy consumption is too much, over 4 GJ/t CO2. Many researchers report that catalysts can help to reduce the desorption energy. And it is generally assumed that four key properties of solid acid catalysts determined the performance of solid acid catalysts in the process of CO2 desorption: the total number of acid sites; specific surface area; the ratio of Brønsted acid sites to Lewis acid sites; the amount of Brønsted acid sites. Therefore, this paper reviews the recent research on the effect of different catalysts on the energy consumption of CO2 desorption and the progress of research on improving catalyst performance. Also, it provides views on the possible problems in practical industrial applications.

This paper provides a techno-economic analysis of carbon capture technologies for coal-fired power plants, which are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The study evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of different technologies, including supercritical and ultrasupercritical power plants, as well as different capacities of 1000 MW, 800 MW, and 500 MW. The analysis focuses on amine-based postcombustion as a carbon capture system, which is widely used in industries. Additionally, the study compares the cost and performance of retrofitting existing power plants with carbon capture systems of varying ages. Finally, the analysis includes sensitivity and probabilistic uncertainty analyses to assess the impact of uncertainties on the results. The findings reveal that carbon capture is still necessary even in ultrasupercritical plants, and that the capacity factor has the greatest impact on the levelized cost of energy, while the discount rate has the lowest impact. The probabilistic uncertainty analysis indicates that deterministic estimates may underestimate the LCOE and carbon capture costs by up to 40%, underscoring the importance of considering uncertainties in decision-making processes.
