CO2 Capture Technologies for Energy Intensive Industries

Abstract

In this paper, the Norwegian strategy for Carbon capture and Storage (CCS) and the funding mechanisms are described. The Norwegian CCS strategy consists of three main elements:•The RD&D programme CLIMIT•The CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)•Full-scale demonstration.The paper describes how this chain has paved the way towards full-scale demonstration of CCS. The emphasis will be on the CLIMIT-programme and on CO2 capture technologies for energy intensive industry.In July 2016, the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) published the results of a feasibility study on full-scale demonstration of CCS at three locations with different energy intensive industries: a cement plant, an ammonia plant and a waste incineration plant. The main findings and results from the feasibility study are also presented in this paper.
