Project Description
The overall objective of the project is to complete a front-end engineering design (FEED) study and cost estimate (AACE International Cost Estimate Classification System [AACE] Class 3: -20% to +30%) for a commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture facility retrofitted onto the newly modernized Heidelberg Materials US Inc. cement plant in Mitchell, Indiana. The capture facility will be designed to use the Kansai Mitsubishi Carbon Dioxide Recovery Process (KM CDR ProcessTM) and KS-21 amine solvent to capture approximately 2,000,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, or 95% of the CO2 emissions from the newly renovated cement plant.
Project Benefits
The Point Source Carbon Capture Program is accelerating the deployment of advanced carbon capture technologies that can separate CO2 with at least 95% capture efficiency from major process streams at existing industrial manufacturing facilities (e.g., ammonia and petrochemical, cement and lime, pulp and paper, and iron and steel production) or natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. The completion of FEED studies for commercial-scale systems that separate at least 100,000 tonnes/year net CO2 at industrial facilities suitable for long-duration carbon storage or CO2 conversion/utilization into long-lasting products will support the United States in achieving a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero carbon pollution economy by 2050 while promoting the creation of jobs located in power plant or industrial communities.
