Aerosol-based emission, solvent degradation, and corrosion in post combustion CO2 capture
doctoral thesis
Global greenhouse gas emissions, especially of CO2, have been increasing tremendously over the past century. This is known to cause not only an increase of temperature, but also a change in our climate. Along with a shift to renewable sources of energy, Carbon Capture and Storage is necessary to mitigate climate change. Power plants are the largest point source of CO2 emissions and therefore, capture of CO2 from such sources is a must. Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCCC), and specifically absorption-desorption based technology is the preferred choice of technology for CO2 capture from flue gases. It has been extensively used in the oil and gas industry for gas treatment. Its application for CO2 capture from flue gases is not straightforward, mainly due to different flue gas composition and operating conditions. Other aspects such as solvent degradation, solvent emissions and corrosion become even more critical.
