Techno-economic feasibility assessment of CO2 capture and utilistation from cement manafacturing

目前，重工业脱碳被视为实现将全球变暖幅度控制在前工业化时代以来2摄氏度的气候变化目标的关键。为了实现深度脱碳，需要碳捕获和储存（CCS），在附近没有储存能力的地区，需要考虑将二氧化碳转化为增值产品。该项目将评估石灰和水泥制造中碳捕获和利用（CCU）不同工艺方案的技术和财务可行性。石灰和水泥制造是全球最大的二氧化碳排放源之一。为实现这一目标，项目将包括：市场分析，以确定最有前途的CCU产品在英国地区评估可用的二氧化碳捕获和转换技术，以目标产品开发新工艺和成本模型，以确定最具成本效益的选择和设定设计目标，以实现经济可行性技术经济评估（TEA）是评估新技术经济可行性的有价值的工具，它被广泛用于工业优化现有工艺和探索新的技术的选择。具有TEA经验的工程博士毕业生受到业界和学术界的高度追捧；因此，他们毕业后有更广泛的就业选择。您将加入低碳能源和资源技术研究小组（工程学院）的一个成熟的研究团队，该小组以其在CCS， CCU和生物质/废物利用方面的高影响力研究而闻名于世。

Decarbonising heavy industry is now seen as essential to meet the climate change target of limiting global warming to 2C since pre-industrial times. To achieve deep decarbonisation, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is required and, in areas where there is no storage capacity close by, the conversion of CO2 to added-value products needs to be considered. The project will evaluate the technical and financial feasibility of different process scenarios for carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) from lime and cement manufacturing, one of the largest CO2 emitters globally. Towards this aim, the project will include: A market analysis to identify the most promising CCU products within the UK region Evaluation of available CO2 capture and conversion technologies to target products Development of new process and cost models to determine the most cost effective options and set design targets to achieve economic feasibility Techno-economic assessment (TEA) is a valuable tool for assessing the economic viability of new technologies and it is widely used in industry to optimise existing processes and explore new technology options. PhD Engineering graduates with TEA experience are highly sought by both industry and academia; thus, they have a wider range of employment options upon graduation. You will join an established research team within the Low Carbon Energy and Resources Technologies Research Group (Faculty of Engineering) which is world renowned for its high impact research on CCS, CCU and biomass/waste utilisation.
