European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)Nominators: Norway (lead) and Netherlands Recognized by the CSLF at its London Ministerial meeting in October 2009, this is a large-scale project (100,000 tonnes per year CO2 capacity) that will establish a facility for parallel testing of amine-based and chilled ammonia CO2 capture technologies from two flue gas sources with different CO2 contents. The goal of the project is to reduce cost and technical, environmental, and financial risks related to large-scale CO2 capture, while allowing evaluation of equipment, materials, process configurations, different capture solvents, and different operating conditions. The project will result in validation of process and engineering design for full-scale application and will provide insight into other aspects such as thermodynamics, kinetics, engineering, materials of construction, and health/safety/environmental.
