Post-combustion Capture Plants - Concept and Plant Integration

Amine-based post-combustion processes are discussed as one option for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which can reduce the specific CO 2 emissions to less than 100g/kWh el . As a result, Hitachi Power Europe (HPE) has designed and constructed a mobile pilot plant to test the feasibility of this process at different sites of their co-operation partner Electrabel/GDF Suez and E.ON. HPE is using different amine-based solvents to develop strategies aiming at cost optimisation.
