What Is Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCS/CCUS)?

The Carbon Capture Industry includes processes and technologies that aid in capturing, repurposing, or safely storing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions directly from sources found within industrial processes or directly from the atmosphere. It is often abbreviated as CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) or CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage/Sequestration). There are distinct processes and system requirements for each phase.

CO2 Capture and Transport

CO2 can be captured directly from large emission sources like power plants or ethanol plants. Carbon is removed using post-combustion, pre-combustion, or oxyfuel combustion techniques. Once the CO2 is removed, it will require transport to appropriate CO2 storage locations or different industrial plants to be utilized in other processes.

Carbon Utilization or Usage

Captured CO2 can be used to manufacture fuels and building materials, and aid in the production of other products like concrete or plastics.

Sequestration or Storage

Carbon sequestration is the process of safely storing CO2 after it has been captured. Used carbon can be transported to designated underground collection areas for permanent storage or other industrial facilities until it is ready to be used.

Hoffman™ and Lamson™ CO2 blower technologies can be used to aid the capture and transportation of used carbon within a carbon capture system. Industrial blowers are commonly installed to draw the “scrubbed” CO2 from the facility, boost the pressure, and then feed the gas through a heat exchanger so it can be cooled, and additional condensate can be removed. **

Hoffman Lamson is a trusted provider of multistage centrifugal blowers for the Carbon Capture industry. Centrifugal blowers are used in many processes throughout Carbon Capture, Sequestration, and Storage applications.

Post-Combustion Carbon Capture

Post-combustion carbon capture is commonly used in small and medium-scale industrial applications. It offers the unique cost-saving advantage of being retrofittable to existing carbon-producing systems. Post-combustion CO2 capture involves capturing carbon from the point source in the flue gas after combustion.

Oxy-fuel Carbon Capture

Oxy-fuel combustion is unique in that fossil fuel is burned in pure oxygen instead of air. The flue gas consists of mainly CO2 and water vapor. When the water condenses through cooling, the result is almost pure CO2 that can be transported and stored. This technique is commonly seen in electricity plants.

Pre-Combustion Carbon Capture

Pre-combustion carbon capture is the removal of CO2 from fossil fuels before combustion is completed. The fossil fuel is partially burned to form a synthetic gas. This process also produces hydrogen, which can be separated and used as fuel. This technique is commonly used in fossil-fuel power plants, chemical manufacturing, or waste incineration. It is less expensive than post-combustion techniques but cannot be retrofitted to older plants or systems.

Growth Inside The Carbon Capture Industry

The Carbon Capture Industry is expanding rapidly as we aim for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Carbon capture and sequestration is a crucial strategy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate climate change. Although the process of carbon capture is not new, with current plants in operation already capturing 40 million metric tons of CO2 per year, the recent prioritization of project funding, tax credits, and carbon capture legislation worldwide has boosted the viability of developing large-scale carbon removal processes in industrial facilities.

The Inflation Reduction Act was passed by the United States Senate in August 2022 and grants a significant tax credit for the carbon capture industry - increasing the subsidy from $50 to $85 per metric ton. According to IEA, there are 35 commercial facilities applying CCUS to industrial processes today, but with the recent momentum, there are plans for over 200 new carbon capture facilities to be operating by 2030.

In 2021, 102 CCS facilities were in the advanced and early stages of development. Combined with facilities already under construction or in operation, these facilities could capture up to 149.3 million metric tons of CO2 per year. (Source: RFF)
