1 Carbon Capture in the Cement Industry? LOWCAP CCS Workshop, Tel-Tek Nov. 8th 2012 Liv Bjerge

2 Sustainable Cement Production - Drivers Future cement market is increasing The cement industry is under EU ETS and the challenge is to increase the production of cement within a stricter future frame 2020? We will be prepare for a stricter future regulation regime Is carbon capture technology an opportunity? Slide Liv Bjerge

3 CO2; the cement industry s biggest challenge CO2 emission: World wide; 5 % of the total CO2 emissions HeidelbergCement Group: ~ 50 million tons/ year (same level as Norway) Norcem Norway; 2,0 2,3 % Cement production; two CO2 emission sources 60 % comes from the calcination process (CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2) 40 % comes the use of fuels (historically fossil fuels) The industry focus on substitution of fossil fuels with waste derived fuels with a high level of biomass (alternative fuels) The Brevik plant today is on a substitution level of more than 60 % CO2 emissions are reduced with tons/year Norcem s sustainability vision: To be carbon neutral in 2030! CCS will be a necessity! Slide CO2 capture Project in Brevik

4 CO2 Capture Project in the Cement Industry Main Target: Establish a post-combustion small scale CO2 capture test center Investigate the opportunities and challenges with utilization of CO2 capture technologies in the cement industry Qualification of capture technologies We will concentrate on capture! CO2 Scrubbing intensity: Utilization of available waste heat Not 100 % scrubbing Vital to test under real flue gas conditions Different flue gas and process conditions compared to power (CO2 concentration, impurities, dust & temperature) Norcem Brevik: SOx & NOx-Scrubber Slide Liv Bjerge

5 What is done so far? Project Phase 1 in 2011 Concept Study and Pre-engineering of a small scale CO2 capture test facility at Norcem Brevik Project behalf of the European cement industry Partners: Norcem, HeidelbergCement and ECRA (European Cement Research Academy) Technical Support from Tel-Tek Economic support from Gassnova (Climit): 50% Slide Liv Bjerge

6 Results Project Phase I- Concept Study and Pre-engineering of CO2 Capture Test Facility at Norcem Brevik (Nov. 2011) Norcem Infrastructure ACC Amine Alstom CAP Alstom RCC Membrane ACC: Aker Clean Carbon Amine Process (1. gen. tech.) Alstom: Chilled Ammonia Process (1. gen. tech.) Alstom: Regenerative Carbonate Looping (2. gen. tech.) Cluster DNV KEMA/ NTNU/ Yodfat: Membrane (Small-scale) Not part of preeng. Cost estimate: 164 MNOK Disapproved by the cement industry Slide Liv Bjerge

7 Project Phase II- Detail-engineering & Construction of CO2 Capture Test Facility at Norcem Brevik Norcem main Infrastructure ACC Amine Norcem Small Infrastructure ASAP DNV KEMA Membrane RTI Solid Sorbent Other Packages: Alstom: RCC - De-risking study in Darmstadt (2. gen. tech.) Test Program (Qualifying technologies) Benchmark Analysis (Investigate Technical, Environmental & Economical Performance in Commercial Scale Perspective) Reporting and Publication of Project Results Total Budget Estimate: 93 MNOK 75 % Support Intensity ~ 70 MNOK Slide Liv Bjerge

8 Project Status Application submitted in May Discussions in CLIMIT Program Board in June ESA / Pre-notification process Approval before end of 2012? Start detail engineering of infrastructure in Jan 2013 Our plan to start testing beginning of 2014 Slide Liv Bjerge

9 Summary The cement industry recognize its responsibility and wants to commit to the development of solutions which hopefully will bring down the CO2 emissions in the cement industry. The cement industry think CCS is a necessity on short and middle term to meet future regulation regimes We believe it is vital to test on real flue gas conditions but will look to Mongstad for exchange of experiences. We don t think 100% scrubbing but will investigate how much CO2 can be captured utilizing available waste heat. The costs are high and realization of project is dependent of internal cooperation and governmental support We are optimistic and believe it will be a project in the cement industry Slide Liv Bjerge
