CO2 Capture from Air by Alkaline Absorption / Mineral Carbonation
CO2 Capture Strategies Plant Capital & Operating Cost Analysis | United States | Q2 2025
The report provides a comprehensive study of CO2 Capture Strategies production and related CO2 Capture Strategies production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the CO2 Capture Strategies production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related CO2 Capture Strategies plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective CO2 Capture Strategies plant operating costs (Opex).
The CO2 Capture Strategies production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The CO2 Capture Strategies plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The CO2 Capture Strategies plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
The process under analysis comprises 2 major sections: (1) ash carbonation; and (2) CO2 absorption.
Ash Carbonation. In the first step, an alkaline waste (herein assumed as fly ash) is mixed with a Na2CO3 solution. This extracts divalent ions from minerals within the waste material to form carbonates (e.g., CaCO3), while simultaneously generating a sodium hydroxide solution. The formed carbonates are separated from the solution by means of filtration and dried before being sent to storage.
CO2 Absorption. The sodium hydroxide solution obtained from carbonation step is transferred to a liquid-air contactor where it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. In the air contactor, the NaOH solution is converted back to a Na2CO3 solution, which is circulated back to the carbonation reactor to repeat the cycle, carbonating fresh alkaline solids. A small portion of the Na2CO3 solution must be purged to prevent minerals buildup and fresh make-up solution is added to compensate for the losses.

Polylactic Acid Production from Raw Sugar
This study approaches the economics of Polylactic Acid production from raw sugar in Germany. Initially, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into invert sugars. The invert sugars are then fermented to produce lactic acid, in a process similar to Cargill process. The lactic acid is oligomerized and then depolymerized into lactide, which is finally polymerized to yield PLA by ring opening polymerization, similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks.
