Evaluation of Technological Options for Carbon Dioxide Utilization

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, various technologies for the utilization of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) are evaluated using parametric and expert evaluation methods. About 25 technologies at different technology readiness level (TRL) have been identified and classified as either major or minor candidates for implementation under conditions of the Polish national economy. In relation to 14 technologies, extensive literature studies have been conducted. Several assessment criteria have been defined, and the ranking list of technologies has been created. At the final stage, a feasibility assessment has been made for the top two technologies of CO2 utilization in the context of cooperation with the 910 MW block in Jaworzno (Poland) coal-fired power plant.
