Carbon Capture Storage
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is the process used to separate carbon dioxide emissions from industrial applications before transporting it to a long-term storage location. And, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global carbon capture capacity can reach up to 430 M tonnes CO₂ by 2030, more than sixfold increase from today.
Driving cost efficiency with cutting-edge CCUS solutions
- Maximizing heat recovery
- Reducing operational costs
- Reducing energy consumption
The biggest challenge in CCUS is cost. Carbon capture is an expensive process because energy use can account for up to 60% of a CCUS facility’s total operational costs.
With Alfa Laval’s heat exchanger technology, process optimization support, and thermal integration, you can maximize heat recovery and reduce energy consumption at the same time.
Our thermally efficient technologies can reduce energy consumption in amine-based, Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC), Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Direct Air Capture (DACCS) plants by up to 40%.
Why our CCS technology is the solution
Alfa Laval plays a crucial role in the CCS value chain with technology both in and between every phase of the process. With trusted installations still operating efficiently at the oldest CCS facilities in the world, we have a broad range of products to help you:
- Optimize emitter processes to reduce your carbon emissions
- Reduce energy consumption during carbon capture
- Reduce your carbon footprint during transportation and storage.
- Optimize the utilization processes.
