Aiming at the iron and steel industry decarbonisation with blast furnace gas (BFG) utilisation, a techno-economic feasibility of the pre-combustion carbon capture with methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) is evaluated herein. The effectiveness of water gas shift (WGS) implementation on the capture performance is also investigated. The integration of a power plant with decarbonised fuel from the capture unit is taken into account from both technical and economic perspectives. Aspen Plus® is used to develop the process. The results obtained from the techno-economic analysis showed that the WGS implementation increases the capture efficiency from 46.5% to 83.8%, with increased CO 2 capture cost from€ 39.8/t C O 2 to€ 44.3/t C O 2. The sensitivity analysis on the effect of 1) different BFG composition and 2) different carbon capture rate (CCR) on the capture unit integrated with WGS performance is performed. The obtained results revealed that BFG with a lower calorific value is less practical from a techno-economic point of view as it increases the specific primary energy consumption for CO 2 capture avoidance (S P E C C A) from 3.3 MJ LHV/kg C O 2 to 3.8 MJ LHV/kg C O 2. Moreover, the lower CCR increases the thermal energy of the H 2-rich gas from the capture unit from 266.8 MW to 269.6 MW. The techno-economic advantages of the based case do not results beneficial for na environment point of view since at lower CCR the specific CO 2 emissions increase from 51 kg C O 2/GJ LHV to 70 kg C O 2/GJ LHV. The fully integrated power plant to the capture unit reveals that the 37.52%(without WGS) and 24.27%(with WGS) efficiencies are achievable through the combined cycle integration. For the combined cycle, the integration of WGS reactor will reduce the CO 2 specific emission to 675.1 kg C O 2/M W h in comparison to 1391.5 kg C O 2/M W h for the case with no WGS.
