Rapid up-scaling and deployment of more cost-efficient and sustainable carbon capture solutions is needed to reduce the emissions of CO2-intensive industries. Solvent-based carbon capture is an important technology that can be readily adopted to many emission sources. Such technology can achieve high capture rates and deliver CO2 at high purity with a relatively low energy demand. In AURORA the open and non-proprietary CESAR1 solvent technology will be optimised and qualified for commercial deployment. The technology will be demonstrated at TRL7-8 for three CO2 intensive industries: refining, cement, and materials recycling, for which there are few other options to achieve climate neutrality. The partners will demonstrate negligible environmental impact (emissions being a potential issue for solvent technology), capture rates at 98%, and capture costs reduced by at least 47% compared to a benchmark process with the MEA solvent. This will be achieved due to the following innovations: 1) Holistic optimisation of solvent composition, process design, emission monitoring and control, and solvent management, 2) Validated models for use in commercial process simulators 3) enhanced waste heat integration with carbon capture for reduced external heat demand and operational costs 4) Improved and integrated advanced control system for reduced OPEX and optimised performances. These innovations will be integrated in four optimised capture processes and various aspects will be demonstrated in pilots of various size and complexity. The partners will ensure transferability of results to other CO2 intensive industries thanks to the large variations in CO2 source and developed clusters addressed in the project and a strong stakeholder participation. The project will also do full CCUS chain assessments for its end-users. It is noteworthy that the end-users are situated in two different regions of Europe offering different conditions for the implementation of CCUS value chains.

需要快速提高和部署更具成本效益和可持续的碳捕获解决方案，以减少二氧化碳密集型行业的排放。基于溶剂的碳捕获是一项重要的技术，可以很容易地用于许多排放来源。这样的技术可以达到高捕获率，并以相对较低的能源需求提供高纯度的二氧化碳。在Aurora中，开放和非专有的Cesar1溶剂技术将被优化并有资格用于商业部署。该技术将在TRL7-8上针对三个二氧化碳密集型行业进行证明：炼油，水泥和材料回收，为此，几乎没有其他选择来实现气候中立。与MEA溶剂的基准过程相比，合作伙伴将证明可忽略不计的环境影响（排放是溶剂技术的潜在问题），捕获率为98％，至少降低了47％的成本。这将是由于以下创新而实现的：1）溶剂组合，过程设计，排放监控和控制的整体优化以及溶剂管理，2）经过验证的模型用于商业过程模拟器3）增强了与碳捕获的碳热集成，以减少外部热量和集成的高级控制系统，以降低外部热量和集成的高级控制系统。这些创新将集成到四个优化的捕获过程中，各种规模和复杂性的飞行员将展示各个方面。由于二氧化碳来源的巨大差异并开发了项目中涉及的群集以及强大的利益相关者参与，因此合作伙伴将确保结果向其他CO2密集型行业的转移性。该项目还将为其最终用户进行完整的CCUS链评估。值得注意的是，最终用户位于欧洲的两个不同地区，提供不同条件以实施CCUS价值链。
