道达尔能源启动3D碳捕获试点项目

据气体世界网3月22日报道，一项新的旨在从安赛乐米塔尔的敦刻尔克现场的工业活动中捕获二氧化碳(CO2) 的“3D”碳捕获试点项在3月22日开始运营。 

这个新项目由欧盟的“地平线2020研究和创新计划”资助，旨在使钢铁等难以减少碳排放的行业脱碳，它将致力于验证可复制的碳捕获技术解决方案。

这包括验证由法国石油和新能源研究院(IFPEN)开发的DMX碳捕获过程，IFPEN是推动该项目的财团成员之一。 

这个项目于2019年宣布，去年12月在安赛乐米塔尔的敦克尔克工厂交付和组装了该试点项目的主要模块，与工厂连接完成后，该装置现在已经准备启动。

该财团成员道达尔能源公司首席技术官玛丽·诺埃尔·塞梅里亚称，这是钢铁行业向脱碳迈出的“一大步”。她补充说，尽管该试点项目在炼钢过程中进行了测试，但它可以应用于炼油过程。 

她补充说：“我们需要捕获和储存残留排放:这就是为什么我们的研发团队正在与我们的合作伙伴合作，在整个二氧化碳捕获、储存和使用过程中开发专业知识。”

在示范阶段，试点项目每小时将捕获0.5吨二氧化碳，相当于每年4000吨以上。  

项目由欧盟资助，耗资1470万欧元。财团认为，这个项目是实现《巴黎协定》目标的“关键驱动力”，包括来自6个欧洲国家的12个研究和工业伙伴。

3D carbon capture pilot starts up in Dunkirk

A new ‘3D’ pilot designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial activities at ArcelorMittal’s Dunkirk site has begun operations as of today (22nd March).

Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, the new project – which aims to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as steelmaking – will work towards validating replicable technical solutions for carbon capture. 

This includes the verification of the DMX carbon capture process developed by IFP Energies Nouvelles (IFPEN) – a member of the consortium driving the project. 

Having been announced in 2019, the pilot’s main module delivery and assembly took place last December at ArcelorMittal’s Dunkirk site and – with connection to the plant complete – the unit is now ready for start-up. 

Calling it a ‘big step’ towards decarbonising the industry, Marie-Noelle Semeria, CTO, TotalEnergies, a member of the consortium, added that although being tested in steelmaking, the pilot can be applied to refining processes. 

“We need to capture and store residual emissions: that’s why our R&D teams are working alongside our partners to develop expertise throughout the CO2 capture, storage and use process,” she added. 

During the demonstration stage, the pilot will capture 0.5 tonnes of CO2 an hour, equating to more than 4,000 tonnes per year. 

The 14.7m EU-funded project is considered by the consortium as a ‘vital driver’ for reaching Paris Agreement targets and includes twelve partners from research and industry in six European countries.
