Carbon capture and storage in glass manufacturing - IDENTIFIED BY INCITE
Full-scale demonstration of carbon capture and storage in Glass manufacturing to limit furnace CO2 emissions
Energy efficient process for CO2 capture based on the use of hot potassium carbonate (HPC). Replicable to many other hard-to-abate industries, it enables cost-effective sequestration of 80% of CO2 from furnace flue gases. The system will be designed, built and tested at full industrial scale in a new-built oxy-fuel furnace, where it will be operated for one year by O-I Italy. Performance will be accurately monitored and assessed by SSV, renown Italian research body for the glass sector. This will allow to prove technical and economic feasibility of this first complete CCS solution for the glass industry, and to optimise the value chain of transport and storage, together with stakeholder ENI, which will operate a storage site in Ravenna from 2024. Technology provider K2-CO2 will use outcomes to bring the system’s TRL to 8 and to prepare for a quick market introduction, also assessing opportunities in other hard-to-abate industries and verifying possible integration with future reuse solutions (CCU).
