Evaluation of Efficient CCUS System Design from Chemical Industry Emission in Indonesia

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industry significantly contribute to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere as the main cause of the Green House Gas (GHG) effect and climate change. CO2 emissions cause the need for evaluation in finding emission reduction systems. The CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage) system is one of the most studied emission reduction systems. This study aims to obtain an intuitive and quantitative CCUS network design framework using GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) software with a mathematical approach. Several sources of CO2 emissions and potential absorbers are scattered in several regions in Indonesia. A mathematical approach was developed to optimize the amount of CO2 stored and utilized by varying the minimum time difference (dt min) between source and sink from 0, 3, 5, 8, to 10 years. The economic potential of the source-sink pair decreases with the change in dt with an average of 6.50 x 106 USD. Based on the potential economic value, the CCUS system with industrial CO2 emission sources has a positive value that can be applied in Indonesia.
