Better Carbon Capture for Industrial Emissions – Enhancing CCUS in Europe in support of the Paris Agreement
This new policy brief argues that carbon capture, use and storage should be included in the list of technological priorities in EU countries’ climate policies.
Simulation Research of Leakage and Diffusion Disaster in High Pressure Supercritical CO2 Pipeline
In order to construct large-scale CO2 transportation pipelines and improve the application range of CCUS technology, it is very important to explore the disaster of supercritical CO2 leakage and diffusion in high-pressure pipelines. In this paper the industrial scale CO2 pipeline (length 257m， inner diameter 233mm) is taken as the research object， and the numerical model of supercritical CO2 leakage and diffusion in high-pressure pipeline is built by using computational fluid dynamics...
Experimental Investigation of the Characteristics of Supercritical CO2 during the Venting Process
Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is the technology with the greatest potential to decrease the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is the main contributor to global warming and can result in a significant number of environmental problems. The transportation of CO2 is the most important node in the CCUS chain and a pipeline is an economical and efficient means of transportation. In the process of CO2 pipeline building, a certain amount of venting devices should be installed to...
These EU-funded projects aim to improve carbon capture for industrial emissions
See what a group of EU-funded projects including C4U do to improve carbon capture from industrial emissions.
New D6.2 Report summarises CCUS learnings from the UK
This new C4U report investigates UK progress on CCUS and UK cluster projects to identify transferable learnings for the North Sea Port cluster
Challenges and opportunities of achieving European CO2 transportation and storage specifications for carbon capture in the iron and steel industry
Read this new paper by Richard Porter et al. presented at the Trondheim CSS Conference in June 2021.
New paper: A green COVID-19 recovery of the EU basic materials sector
This new paper explores climate-friendly projects that could be part of the COVID-19 recovery while jump-starting the transition of the European basic materials industry, including the steel sector.
D6.1 Report summarising findings from the literature review on CCUS risks and challenges, and radical innovation and market creation
The C4U project is a Horizon 2020 funded programme that is working towards advancing two CO2 capture technologies through demonstrations at an iron and steel plant in the North Sea Port, and detailed consideration of safety and environmental factors. In addition to the successful demonstration of novel technologies, C4U is also focused on investigating how these technologies may be adopted and integrated within industrial clusters such as that of the North Sea Port. In this aspect, the project...
A Ca-Cu Chemical Loop Process for CO2 Capture in Steel Mills: System Performance Analysis
This paper discusses the conversion of blast furnace gas into hydrogen- and carbon dioxide-rich stream at a large scale.
D3.1 Report on assumptions, base case technology and methodology for the CO2 capture integration in the considered industrial application
In this report the benchmark technology for CO2 capture from Blast Furnace Gas has been selected along with the main key performance indicators (KPIs) to compare the performance with the C4U technologies.
A Trans-European CO2 Transportation Infrastructure for CCUS: Opportunities and Challenges
The report “A Trans-European CO2 Transportation Infrastructure for CCUS: Opportunities & Challenges” aims to provide a technical overview on CO2 transportation, in particular the use of pipeline networks in industrial clusters, and it stresses the importance of developing dedicated business models for CO2 transportation. The report highlights the need for further development of the key principles underpinning the development of CO2 transportation pipelines and large-scale deployment and...
