Process Description
CO2 is recovered from flue gas of a steam reformer of on ammonia plant and delivered to CO2 compressor for urea synthesis. Recovered CO2 is used to increase urea production. The first commercial plant for flue gas CO2 recovery using this advanced technology has been operating in Malaysia since October 1999 for Urea production. Performance of the process is excellent in terms of low steam consumption, very low solvent degradation and low solvent loss.

5. Conclusions

Advantages of Post Combustion CO2 Capture


Is applicable for the current, global PC fleet Offers high degree of flexibility is adaptable and cost competitive with other technologies Operation at atmospheric pressure safe and does not require exotic materials Produces highly purified CO2 important environmental consideration for transport and disposal Easy to transfer post combustion technology to developing countries simple process and configuration

Allows for future near zero emission use of fossil fuels

5. Conclusions

Need for Carbon Capture & Storage


Coal will remain a dominant fuel for electric power generation Coal with CCS technology can play an important part in CO2 mitigation Governments must continue to support CCS regulatory certainty and incentives for first stage commercial CCS plants Enhanced Oil Recovery in the short-medium term and Carbon Emission Trading in the medium-longer term can help offset costs associated with CCS
