Is your facility ready for carbon capture?
Before an investment decision, we analyze flue gas, energy infrastructure, process conditions, cost impact and technology options on an engineering basis.
Carbon capture is no longer only an environmental issue.
For carbon-intensive industrial facilities, CCS/CCUS has become a direct part of financial risk management due to CBAM, ETS, international supply-chain pressure and expectations for low-carbon production. However, the right solution is not the same for every facility. Flue-gas flow rate, CO₂ concentration, pollutant components, waste-heat potential, electricity consumption, site layout, logistics and the final CO₂ use/storage scenario must be assessed together.
1. Pre-feasibility and technology screening
The facility’s overall suitability for carbon capture is assessed. Flue-gas flow rate, temperature, basic composition, CO₂ concentration, energy and waste-heat opportunities are reviewed.
- Annual capturable emissions potential
- Preliminary comparison of amine, membrane, adsorbent, MOF and hybrid solutions
- First-level CAPEX/OPEX estimate
2. Detailed engineering feasibility
Technical and economic analysis is performed as a basis for the investment decision. Integration of the capture system with the existing process, auxiliary equipment needs, CO₂ purification, compression, temporary storage and transport scenarios are reviewed.
- Capture cost model per tonne of CO₂
- Site layout and auxiliary system needs
- Technical data infrastructure for CBAM, MRV and funding applications
3. Pilot project development and management
The CCUS concept is converted into a small-scale field application. Pilot capacity, containerized mobile system or demo-installation scenario, measurement points and control parameters are defined.
- Technical specification preparation
- Pre-assessment of suppliers and technology providers
- Test plan, performance monitoring system and reporting structure
Areas where CCUS feasibility is critical
Cement and lime
Due to high-volume process emissions, flue-gas characteristics, capture technology and CO₂ management scenario are assessed together.
Biogas and energy plants
Biogenic CO₂ sources can create negative-emissions potential when structured correctly.
Foundry and metallurgy
Technology selection is critical due to complex flue-gas composition, variable production regimes and high energy consumption.
Waste incineration and industrial boilers
Waste-heat potential, flue-gas pollutants and continuous operating conditions are reviewed for low-cost capture strategies.
Iron and steel, aluminium and chemicals
In sectors exposed to CBAM and ETS pressure, carbon capture investment is analyzed together with financial impact and regulatory relationship.
Facilities ready for pilot implementation
A phased pilot approach is more realistic in facilities with measurable flue-gas flow, suitable auxiliary systems and management commitment.
Engineering decision before equipment sales.
Technology-independent engineering
We do not act as the representative of a specific equipment manufacturer. We compare technology routes according to the facility’s real conditions.
Cost-focused decision support
CAPEX, OPEX, energy consumption and cost per tonne of CO₂ are assessed together.
Process and energy integration
A carbon capture system directly affects the facility’s steam, power, cooling, waste heat and auxiliary-system infrastructure.
Let us ask the right technical questions before a carbon capture investment.
Recarbeng analyzes your facility’s flue gas, energy infrastructure, process conditions and cost structure to prepare an applicable CCUS roadmap.
