Combining post-combustion CO2 capture with CO2 utilization

For the further development of CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) an integrated approach is needed to optimize the full chain from capture, via transport to application. For the near future, carbon dioxide will be one of the largest commodities. In order to manage the captured CO2 it is anticipated that for different cases, like for example different sources of the CO2 and geographic location, different options will apply. The potential of various options for CO2 utilization are discussed in this paper. An overview will be given of a number of possible applications where CO2 is used as feedstock. For different applications the operational boundaries and the specific requirements will be addressed.
