CARBON-DIOXIDE RECOVERY FROM INDUSTRIAL-PROCESSES

In this study possible techniques of recovering CO2 from large-scale i ndustrial processes are assessed. The largest and most concentrated CO 2 sources in Dutch industry are identified, and the technical and econ omic feasibility of recovering CO2 from these sources is assessed. Nea rly 20% of the Dutch industrial CO2 emissions may be avoided. The miti gation costs are calculated to be between US$ 8 and US$ 46 per tonne o f CO2 emission avoided, for the different sectors considered. These co st figures indicate that CO2 recovery from industrial processes and fr om power plants are competitive options.
