Life cycle assessment of amine-based versus ammonia-based post combustion CO2 capture in coal-fired power plants
Highlights The subcritical and supercritical 500 MW coal fired power plants with and without CO2 capture unit were considered for a comparative, cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of CO2 capture through amine-based and ammonia-based absorption from the flue gasses. The effects of alkanolamine (MEA) concentration and CO2 capture efficiency on the environmental impact of different categories were investigated. The methods of IPCC 2013 GWP 100a, AWARE V1.02, recipe 2016 midpoint (H) V1.03, and TRACI 2.1 V1.05, were considered for this LCA. For impact categories such as water footprint, ozone depletion, ionizing radiation, marine eutrophication, smog and fossil fuel depletion the plants with CO2 capture unit showed higher impact compared to the plants without a CO2 capture unit. In terms of carbon and water footprints MEA-based CO2 capture unit presents better performance compare to the ammonia-based. The performance of the subcritical plants in terms of their environmental impact were also compared.
Abstract Considering two sets of subcritical and supercritical 500 MW coal fired power plants with and without CO2 capture unit, a comparative, cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment was performed to evaluate the environmental impact of CO2 capture through amine-based and ammonia-based absorption from the flue gasses. The aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA) was considered as the amine solvent. The effects of MEA concentration of 20, 30, and 40 wt% and CO2 capture efficiency on the environmental impact of different categories were investigated. The methods of IPCC 2013 GWP 100a, AWARE V1.02, ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) V1.03, and TRACI 2.1 V1.05, were considered for this LCA. In terms of global warming, adding a CO2 capture unit presented significant benefits for the environment. However, for other impact categories such as water footprint, ozone depletion, ionizing radiation, marine eutrophication, smog and fossil fuel depletion the plants with CO2 capture unit showed higher impact compared to the plants without a CO2 capture unit. In terms of carbon and water footprints MEA-based CO2 capture unit presents better performance compare to the ammonia-based.
