CO2 Capture in CCUS refers to the separation of CO2 from a stream containing CO2, CO2 treatment and purification, and compression or liquefaction to the required level for transportation.

Types of CO2 Capture

There are several types of capture, generally referred to by the inlet location of the CO2 containing stream. There are two primary groups:

  1. Power and Combustion-Related Capture
  2. Non Combustion Capture

Types of CO2 Capture - Power and Combustion

In power and combustion-related industries, there are three primary types of capture:

Types of Capture in Power and Combustion Related Industries
Type Description
Post-Combustion Capture Extracts CO2 from a stream after a combustion chamber, such as in a natural gas power plant.
Pre-Combustion Capture Extracts CO2 from a stream before a combustion chamber, such as in a gasification power plant.
Oxy-Combustion Capture Extracts CO2 from a stream after a combustion chamber with a specialised system which uses oxygen instead of combustion air.

Types of CO2 Capture - Non-Combustion Capture

In non-combustion capture, there are two primary types of capture:

Types of Capture in Non-Combustion capture
Type Description
Industrial Separation Capture Extracts CO2 from a stream containing both CO2 and non-CO2 gases, with no combustion in the process stream up or downstream of the removal point.
Inherent Capture Extracts CO2 from a stream containing primarily CO2, with no combustion in the process stream up or downstream of the removal point.

CO2 Capture Technologies

A capture technology is a process that is used to extract CO2 from a CO2-containing stream.
