The first part of any large-scale CCS project is capturing CO 2 from an industrial facility or from the atmosphere. Mature CO 2 capture technology exists for many industries, and in recent years the focus has moved beyond CCS from gas processing or fossil fuel power generation to include hard-to-abate industries such as cement, steel, refining, hydrogen, and ammonia.
Pressure is mounting on these sectors to deeply decarbonize, and CCS is set to play a crucial role in their transition to net zero. Due to the costs and infrastructure required, CO 2 capture projects focus on sources of significant emissions. Many of these industrial facilities have multi-decade lifecycles, meaning that CO 2 capture needs to be retrofitted.
Key challenges relating to CO 2 capture include:
- Introducing new technologies and enhancements to increase efficiency and reduce cost
- Scaling up deployment
- Mitigating the risk of accidental discharge and dispersion of concentrated CO 2
- Safely handling solvents used during CO 2 capture.
