Solid sorbent CO2 capture is widely discussed as a cost-efficient alternative to existing post-combustion CO2 capture processes. TU Wien and Shell have been working on the development of a continuous solid sorbent CO2 capture process since 2011. In 2015, both partners joined the collaborative research project ViennaGreenCO2 that is based in Vienna, Austria and that has the overall objective to demonstrate and study the solid sorbent CO2 capture process at pilot scale. This work introduces the ViennaGreenCO2 project and discusses the work that has been attributed to process upscaling in the first years of the project. Finally, the design of the ViennaGreenCO2 pilot plant is presented and discussed in this work. |
