Design and optimization of CO2 capture utilization and storage system

In this work, we developed a framework for the design and optimization of integrated CCUS systems aimed at feasibility assessment, targeting stationary industrial CO2 emission sources. Within this framework, multiple CO2 capture processes, permanent CO2 storage options, and various CO2 utilization pathways for producing fuels and chemicals (i.e., diethyl carbonate, methane, methanol, gasoline, diesel, and kerosene) are integrated and simultaneously evaluated. modeFRONTIER was coupled with a process simulator to develop surrogate models representing CO2 capture processes, thereby facilitating the optimization. By addressing these aspects, the proposed framework provides valuable decision support for stakeholders involved in the development of new CCUS systems aimed at mitigating industrial CO2 emissions.
