Download or read book Co2 Emission Reduction Path and Cost Analysis for a Chemical Industry Company in East China Based on Ccus written by Xiaodong Ye and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CO 2 emission reduction has become the consensus of various industries in China. CO 2 capture, utilization and storage, as an important means for CO 2 emission reduction, is one of the necessary paths to achieve carbon neutrality. Combined with the CO 2 emission of a chemical industry company in the region of East China, this paper introduces the recovery methods, processes and costs of different CO 2 emission sources, and analyzes the CO 2 emission reduction path for the company. Results showed that the process complexity and unit cost of CO 2 capture decreased with the increase of concentration of CO 2 emission sources, the carbon recovery cost per ton of high concentration CO 2 emission source is only about 1/3 of that of low concentration CO 2 emission source, which has significant recovery economic benefit on the premise of downstream absorption pathway. Therefore, priority should be given to the recovery of high concentration CO 2 emission sources. The carbon recovery economy of low concentration CO 2 emission sources is poor, so priority should be given to using new energy to reduce their emissions, and coupling new energy technologies in the recovery process to reduce the recovery cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) from a green, biotechnological and economic perspective, and presents the potential of, and the bottlenecks and breakthroughs in converting a stable molecule such as CO2 into specialty chemicals and materials or energy-rich compounds. The use of renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro) and non-fossil hydrogen is a must for converting large volumes of CO2 into energy products, and as such, the authors explore and compare the availability of hydrogen from water using these sources with that using oil or methane. Divided into 13 chapters, the book offers an analysis of the conditions under which CO2 utilization is possible, and discusses CO2 capture from concentrated sources and the atmosphere. It also analyzes the technological (non-chemical) uses of CO2, carbonation of basic minerals and industrial sludge, and the microbial-catalytic-electrochemical-photoelectrochemical-plasma conversion of CO2 into chemicals and energy products. Further, the book provides examples of advanced bioelectrochemical syntheses and RuBisCO engineering, as well as a techno-energetic and economic analysis of CCU. Written by leading international experts, this book offers a unique perspective on the potential of the various technologies discussed, and a vision for a sustainable future. Intended for graduates with a good understanding of chemistry, catalysis, biotechnology, electrochemistry and photochemistry, it particularly appeals to researchers (in academia and industry) and university teachers.
Download or read book Emission Trajectories and Mitigation Schemes for China written by Kai Fang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to model the possible emission trajectories and identify the feasible mitigation schemes for China to meet its climate commitments to peak emissions before 2030 and net zero emissions before 2060. In line with these ambitions, China has taken a number of measures to improve carbon efficiency and energy structure in recent years. The book first analyzes changes in the carbon footprint at the city level, identify the different pathways to peak emissions by province and industry, and develop a bottom-up approach to determining when and how China could reach peak emissions. It then illustrates how the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) reduces abatement costs, and examines the cost-saving effects under carbon intensity reduction and peak emissions targets. Based on the findings and the status quo in China, the authors propose a multicriteria allocation scheme for carbon emission allowances at the provincial level and quantify the impact of sectoral coverage on the abatement costs of the ETS by developing a cost-based approach to sectoral coverage in China. In addition, the co-benefits between CO2 and PM2.5 reductions as a result of the ETS operation are elaborated. The book will benefit researchers and policy-makers interested in environmental governance, climate policy, environmental economics, and sustainable development.

This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The People's Republic of China (PRC) is taking concerted efforts and making large investments to peak out its carbon dioxide emissions around 2030. While current efforts are prioritizing accelerated energy efficiency and rapid expansion of renewables and nuclear in the energy mix, the fossil fuel related carbon dioxide emissions are still expected to rise even under a "new normal" growth strategies in the PRC. This brings in renewed emphasis on carbon capture and storage (CCS), which is currently the only near-commercial technologies to make deep cuts (up to 90%) in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel related power plants and industries. This report draws on relevant technical assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB), consultants' reports, and the work of ADB staff to assess the potential, the barriers and the challenges in demonstrating and deploying CCS in the PRC. It identifies unique low cost opportunities, recommends a gradual two phase approach to CCS deployment in the PRC and, provides complementary suite of policy actions to enable it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As carbon dioxide is the most important source of greenhouse gases today, its emission quantity has become a primary focus of governments, scholars, and the general public. From the perspective of the structure of Chinese industry, this book aims to answer two questions. First, what is the driving force of China’s CO2 emissions and how does this relate to the structure of industry? Second, what is the potential for abatement and the cost of CO2 across sectors and regions, and the impact for industry? The author calculates the CO2 inventory data at province and sectoral level based on the approach of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and then quantifies the CO2 abatement potential and marginal abatement cost using this production framework. Econometric models are used to examine the likely impact on industry of abatement potential and cost. The book hence provides a rich source of information for general readers to better understand the characteristics, patterns and drivers of China’s CO2 emissions. It also provides solid evidence for policy-makers to help mitigate CO2 emissions through industrial restructuring strategy.

Download or read book CO2 and CO as Feedstock written by Manfred Kircher and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate protection and raw material change require new, sustainable carbon sources for the chemical and fuel industries. In fact, processes that recycle carbon-containing emission and gas streams industrially are reaching industrial practice. They will make an important contribution to reducing carbon emissions and moving towards a true carbon circular economy. This book describes the basics of chemical and biotechnological processes for converting CO and CO2 into chemicals and fuels. Furthermore, it addresses potentials for the manufacturing economy, industrial sites and regions and answers the following questions. Which emission and gas streams offer feedstock potential? What processes are already implemented, being tested and under development? What products can be made from gaseous carbon sources? How can carbon emitting and consuming industries be linked into new value chains? What is the regulatory framework? What does the ecological footprint look like? How do the new processes contribute to the regional economy and thus to social acceptance among consumers and among decision-makers in companies and politics? Providing companies with sustainable carbon sources is a central question of the circular economy, which must be answered with technical processes, new cross-sector value chains, adapted infrastructure and further developed framework conditions. This concerns scientists and decision-makers in companies alike. In this book, they as well as interested laymen will find a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in both, technology and research, and of the overriding issues involved in establishing CO2 and CO as feedstocks.

This book was released on 2022-02-26 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access and focuses on China’s goal of reaching carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, being the first in the market to systematically build an analysis framework for China’s potential to achieve carbon neutrality. It also illustrates that the pathway to carbon neutrality in China needs to be based on the carbon pricing, technological progress, and social governance that jointly promote the achievement. Carbon neutrality is essential to the sustainable development of human beings, which requires coordination of the government and the private sector and cooperation among nations. This book analyzes multiple dimensions from macroeconomics and industries, entities, and finance, to economics and technology, addressing several issues in the path of carbon neutrality. Quantitatively, this book rigorously calculates the emission amount at carbon peak and the total investment demand to achieve carbon neutrality. Structurally, this proposes that it is necessary to take into account economic growth and carbon neutrality targets. It also innovatively deduces the path of China’s carbon neutrality from the perspective of green premium and provides detailed action guidelines for all sectors of society (including government, industry, and the public).
Download or read book Achieving the Dual Targets of CO2 Emission Reduction and Air Quality Improvement for Chinese Cities written by LI ZHANG and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is facing the challenges of both climate change and air pollution. To tackle the challenges, China has set specific goals, such as the CO2 emission peak target by 2030 and the "Beautiful China" target by 2035, to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions. Cities in China play an important role as they are the fundamental units to implement reduction policies. In this dissertation, we investigate the pathway for Chinese cities to achieve the dual targets of CO2 emission reduction and air quality improvement. This work is divided into the following five chapters: an overview (Chapter 1), three chapters of original research (Chapters 2 - 4), conclusions and future work (Chapter 5).We first make a comprehensive assessment of air quality and CO2 emission changes from 2015 to 2019 for 335 Chinese cities, using the city-level data of PM2.5 and O3 concentrations and CO2 emissions. We select important regions for air pollution control in China and categorize all cities into different classes according to their development levels. Then we compare the changes of air quality and CO2 emission by region or city class. We find that PM2.5 concentrations decrease remarkably from 2015 to 2019 due to mandatory city-level PM2.5 reduction targets, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions. Nonetheless, O3 concentrations increase in 91% of Chinese cities and CO2 emissions increase in 69% of the cities. The changes in CO2 emissions are significantly lower in developed cities compared to developing cities, which is mainly driven by the reduction in energy intensity and the improvement in energy structure. Our findings indicate a lack of synergy in air quality improvement and CO2 emission reduction in China under the current policy framework. To tackle the challenges of both air pollution and CO2 mitigation, we suggest that cities set mandatory city-level CO2 emission reduction targets and reinforce energy-related measures in future policies. To address the inconsistency in current CO2 and air pollutants emission inventories, we then develop a unified emission inventory including both emissions. We also identify the co-hotspots of both CO2 and air pollutants emissions at a high spatial resolution (1 1 km2). Using Guangzhou city as a case, we find that the stationary combustion sector and the transportation sector are the main contributors to CO2 and air pollutants emissions, together accounting for 95%, 67%, and 93% of total CO2, SO2, and NOx emissions. The co-hotspots analysis shows that more than 66% of total CO2 and air pollutants emissions are originated from the top 10% emission grids. Our findings enable accurate identification of high-emission grids, which improve the precision and effectiveness in the collaborative control of CO2 and air pollutants. Lastly, we propose a pathway for Chinese cities to reach the dual targets of CO2 emission reduction and air quality improvement. Using Yantai city as a case, we develop an integrated assessment model that couples the emission projection, air quality, and health assessment. We find that strict energy-related measures can help Yantai meet the national annual PM2.5 standard of 35 g/m3 by 2030 and achieve the carbon neutrality goals by 2060. Energy-related measures contributed to 53% and 79% of PM2.5 reduction in 2035 and 2060, exhibiting an increasing potential in improving air pollutants emissions compared to the advanced end-of-pipe controls. We find that the future health benefit from improved air quality will likely compensate for the abatement cost of implementing energy measures, with a net monetized benefit of 1.9 billion Chinese yuan in 2060. Our findings could provide a reference for Chinese cities to deal with the dual challenges in the future. Overall, we find a lack of synergy in air quality improvement and CO2 emission reduction in China under the current policy framework. The unified emission inventory and co-hotspots analysis provide a basis to design collaborative control strategies. The proposed dual targets pathway can guide Chinese cities to address both challenges in future policy design.

Download or read book Adsorption Assisted Cryogenic Carbon Capture written by Guillaume Rodrigues and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon capture has gained momentum in addressing CO2 emissions where substitution of carbon feedstock by renewables is very challenging, such as in steel, refining, chemical, and cement industries. Gas streams containing 15% to 50% CO2 are low-hanging fruits for applying CO2 capture due to their prevalence in industry and lower capture cost linked to their high concentrations. Amine-based processes are historally considered as reference solutions for these applications, but they are no longer the only commercially viable solution today. Air Liquide has been working on a smart combination of its proprietary Adsorption and Cryogenic technologies, where Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is used as a CO2 preconcentration and Cryogenic as CO2 purifiers: the CryocapTM FG. This paper studies the influence of utilities (steam and electricity) on the carbon footprint and total cost of ownership of both amine and CryocapTM FG technologies. The paper also studies Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and the TCO per ton of reduced CO2 for various footprint scenarios and typical utility costs. As it is a high efficiency power-driven technology, CryocapTM FG resulted in a 90% reduction of Scope 1 emissions compared to 69-74% reduction with amine, depending on steam footprint, where limited waste heat is available for steam production. CryocapTM FG was also found to be the most economical choice for electricity prices below 60€/MWh at any steam price, and the breakeven is at 120 €/MWh for a steam cost at around 10 €/t.
