Layout of the Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ process with representative desublimating heat exchanger

Project Description

Sustainable Energy Solutions LLC (SES) will partner with Chart Industries Inc., Eagle Materials Inc., and FLSmidth Inc. to advance the Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ (CCC) technology to engineering scale (30 tonnes of carbon dioxide [CO₂] captured/day). The project objectives are to design, build, and operate an engineering-scale plant with industrial post-process flue gas at the Eagle Materials/Central Plains Cement Plant in Sugar Creek, Missouri. The project goal is to demonstrate that the system captures more than 95% of the CO₂ from the flue gas slip stream and produces a CO₂ stream that is more than 95% pure. SES has completed thousands of hours of testing with their skid-scale (1-tonne CO₂/day) CCC system, achieving capture rates of 90–99.7% with high CO₂ purity (99+%).

The project will be executed in three phases to (1) design and size the major equipment for the process and finalize host site agreements and any required environmental or operational permits; (2) procure all equipment and construct and commission the engineering-scale system; and (3) operate the engineering-scale plant for at least two continuous months within a six-month testing period, followed by decommissioning and restoration of the host site. The project will continually update techno-economic and environmental, safety, and health analyses in parallel with the experimental work.

Project Benefits

The Carbon Capture Program is progressing transformational, scalable carbon capture technologies (e.g., solvent, sorbent, membrane, or hybrid systems, or novel concepts) that can achieve 95% or greater carbon capture efficiency and 95% CO₂ purity in industrial applications such as refineries, chemical and mineral production, natural gas processing, and iron and steel production. Engineering-scale testing of carbon capture technologies under continuous long-term operation with actual flue gas at an industrial facility will support the United States in achieving a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero carbon pollution economy by 2050 while promoting creation of jobs located in power plant or industrial communities.
