Abstract

The objective of this work was to perform the techno-economic analysis for the integration of two post-combustion carbon capture technologies into cement plants, namely monoethanolamine (MEA) scrubbing-based and silica-alkoxylated polyethyleneimine (SPEI) adsorbent-based processes. The key performance indicators were investigated, including emission abatement, energy performance, break-even selling price, CO ₂ capture and avoidance cost. The technical evaluation showed that the conventional MEA and SPEI-based processes required 3.53 GJ/tonne CO ₂ and 2.36 GJ/tonne CO ₂ of regeneration energy when achieving 90% of CO ₂ capture rate, respectively. In addition, the specific primary energy consumption for CO ₂ avoided was estimated at 6.5 GJ/tonne CO ₂ for the MEA-based and 4.3 GJ/tonne CO ₂ for the SPEI-based process. The CO ₂ capture costs of MEA and SPEI-based processes were estimated at 61.4 and 49.8 €/tonne CO ₂, respectively. Meanwhile, the CO ₂ avoidance cost of MEA and SPEI processes were estimated at 84.7 and 62.2 €/tonne CO ₂ respectively. The economic evaluation indicated that the cost of clinker production was increased by 108% with the integration of the solvent-based MEA-based and 84% for the SPEI-based processes. However, in the case, the maximum heat of 53.9 MWth is recovered from the reference cement plant, the costs of CO ₂ capture and CO ₂ avoidance for both the MEA and SPEI-based processes would be reduced. The CO ₂ capture costs of MEA and SPEI-based processes would decrease to 48.0 and 35.6 €/tonne CO ₂, respectively. Additionally, the CO ₂ avoidance costs for the MEA and SPEI-based processes would be reduced to 57.5 and 44.5 €/tonne CO ₂, respectively.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
This work will interest cement manufacturers, who may require understanding the real cost and performance of cement plants with CCS retrofitted. Furthermore, policymakers would benefit from this work, as it could be used to benchmark CO2 emissions and costs with CCS integration. Additionally, policymakers may use the results to better understand CCS and support the technical solution. Finally, academics can find key technical and cost data regarding the studied CCS solutions.
