To evaluate CO2 capture and conversion processes for reduction of CO2 emission, it should be analyzed in various aspects. Firstlyl, CO2 reduction feasibility should be verified by calculating carbon footprint (mass of CO2 per mass of product) of overall processes. Second aspect is economics, which is about profitability from product sales. Lastly, being implemented to CO2 sources, the amount of annual CO2 reduction (mass of CO2 per time) should be analyzed. As a result, complicated calculation and a large number of required data sets are the obstacles in the evaluation. To overcome these, in this work, a computer-aided analysis tool for evaluation of CO2 capture and conversion processes is introduced. With a systematic guideline, intuitive interface, and massive database, it helps users to evaluate a given CO2 capture and conversion process very conveniently. Especially, a concept of a superstructure network is applied, so users can analyze multiple processing pathways at the same time. As exemplary systems, several CO2 conversion processing pathways for production of methanol, acetic acid, and synthetic fuel are introduced, and their evaluation results are discussed. |
