Assignment
Norconsult assisted Forus Energigjenvinning AS in exploring the feasibility of establishing a small-scale CO2 value chain from the plant biogas production unit. Norconsult scope was to evaluate technical solutions for capture, liquefaction, intermediate storage and transport of CO2.
Solution
Norconsult explored and described the logistic value chain for utilization of small-scale CO2.
As part of the study, multiple technology providers for small-scale CO2 capture and liquefaction were assessed and compared. Technical solutions for capture, liquefaction, storage and transport were provided, including evaluations of CAPEX and OPEX for the solutions explored.
For transport out to the local consumers, road tankers were proposed as the most feasibility solution. Cost estimates for the CO2 logistics using road tankers were developed for several volumes and driving distances. The small-scale CO2 value chain was intended for local consumption of CO2 in greenhouses.
Three different liquefaction concepts for small-scale CO2 were developed and described:
- 2500 tons / year
- 5000 tons / year
- 10000 tons / year
Result
Norconsult's study forms the basis for further planning and investment decisions. Norconsult identified further work to be done during next phase of the project.
