The ETN CCS Taskforce is pleased to invite you to the second episode of its CCS webinar series on “Ensuring Successful Carbon Capture: Flue Gas Characterization and Energy Efficiency Strategies”. The webinar will take place on Friday, 6 December from 11:00 to 12:00 (CET).

Abstracts

During the second episode of this webinar series, measures to ensure the effectiveness of carbon capture will be discussed with two ETN Members, ENGIE Laborelec and the University of Mons.

In the first part of the virtual event, Han Huynh (CCUS Domain Manager at ENGIE Laborelec) and Jim Gripekoven (Project Manager in Hydrogen and CCUS at ENGIE Laborelec) will demonstrate how flue gas characterization is key and necessary in a carbon capture project. Certain flue gas contaminants could interfere with carbon capture, leading to increased emissions, solvent degradation, and corrosion. But which contaminants need to be monitored? Which measurement tools and methods? and why is it important? All these questions will be addressed and illustrated by case studies.

The webinar will continue, with a presentation from Antoine Verhaeghe (PhD Researcher Assistant, University of Mons) on the potential options to reduce the carbon capture energy penalty. These options include the application of Exhaust Gas Recirculation, the energetic integration between the combined cycle gas turbines and the carbon capture units, and the use of different solvents for the carbon capture process (MEA, MDEA/PZ).
