[HP] Low-carbon emitting technologies in industries: Low carbon emitting technologies in industries
- Hyungwoong Ahn (University of Edinburgh)
Description
It is aimed to review the status quo of the low-carbon emitting technologies at different stages of research and development that various industries are considering to commercialise to achieve the net zero emission target. The low-carbon emitting technologies are inclusive of:
1) Advanced manufacturing technologies to improve the energy efficiency
2) Production and utilization of low-carbon fuels
3) Pre- or post- combustion CO2 capture processes
4) CO2 utilisation
The technology that has recently attracted the most attention for the industry's low-carbon energy transition is clean hydrogen production and utilization. In the case of Korea, if carbon dioxide generation is controlled to 4 kg or less when producing 1 kg of hydrogen, it will have the status of clean hydrogen. Legalizing a clean hydrogen production scheme requires strict carbon footprint...
Various technologies have been being developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the petrochemical industry, such as the use of bionaphtha and the thermal decomposition of naphtha by electric joule heating. And, as one of the important technologies for carbon neutrality, CCU technology has also been considered as an important implementation method. However, in order to reduce greenhouse...
As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is gradually strengthening regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from ships, the shipping industry is considering Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology as a mid-term decarbonization strategy. A representative CCS technology with high readiness and proven onshore performance is the amine absorption-based capture technology. However, its...
Up to now, carbon capture researches and commercialisation projects have been focused mostly on fossil fuel power stations and industrial plants that feature single CO2 emission sources of very large scales. To achieve the net zero emission target, however, it is essential to curtail substantially the CO2 emission from all the CO2 emission sources regardless of their scales including maritime...
