Project Description
This project explores Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) solutions for producing renewable fuels such as e-methane, e-MeOH, and e-SAF, while also assessing transport solutions for biogenic CO₂ generated during the biomethane upgrading process. By considering biogenic CO₂ as a high-purity, value-added product, the project focuses on developing a logistics chain and estimating associated costs. Additionally, it evaluates the carbon footprint of each solution and defines the requirements for installing CO₂ transport infrastructure for the Baguim do Monte Anaerobic Digestion Plant, operated by LIPOR.
Main Outcomes
•Facility Characterization and Emissions Analysis: Characterization of the location and facilities, along with a detailed process analysis and identification of emission sources.
•CO₂ Valorization Technologies Assessment: Review of state-of-the-art CO₂ valorization technologies, including benchmarking and ranking.
•CO₂ Transport Feasibility and Policy Review: Evaluation of transport alternatives with risk and uncertainty analysis, as well as an assessment of relevant policies based on the final destination of the CO₂.
•Logistics and Cost Analysis: Cost analysis of reference scenarios, including the development of a logistics chain.
•Process Flow and Techno-Economic Assessment: Development of a Process Flow Diagram (PFD) with complete mass and energy balances, complemented by a Class 5 techno-economic assessment supported by sensitivity analysis.
•Regulatory and Environmental Impact Forecasting: Forecasting of the EU-ETS price evolution, culminating in a preliminary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
