Carbon Capture and Storage technology’s role in CO2 emissions reduction and the energy cost

Abstract

The energy and material use associated with carbon capture and storage in the industrial sector are studied, specifically in the cement and petrochemical sectors. A 6.8% increase in energy consumption in the industrial sector would be needed to make the cement industry carbon neutral, and a 2.9% increase would be necessary for the petrochemical industry. A 6.5% increase in limestone mining would be needed to fulfill the material requirements in the cement industry. Additionally, the emissions associated with the transportation of the captured carbon to a storage site are calculated and determined to be minor compared with the capture stage
