據氣體世界網3月22日報道，一項新的旨在從安賽樂米塔爾的敦刻爾克現場的工業活動中捕獲二氧化碳(CO2) 的“3D”碳捕獲試點項在3月22日開始運營。 

這個新項目由歐盟的“地平線2020研究和創新計劃”資助，旨在使鋼鐵等難以減少碳排放的行業脫碳，它將致力于驗證可復制的碳捕獲技術解決方案。

這包括驗證由法國石油和新能源研究院(IFPEN)開發的DMX碳捕獲過程，IFPEN是推動該項目的財團成員之一。 

這個項目于2019年宣布，去年12月在安賽樂米塔爾的敦克爾克工廠交付和組裝了該試點項目的主要模塊，與工廠連接完成后，該裝置現在已經準備啟動。

該財團成員道達爾能源公司首席技術官瑪麗·諾埃爾·塞梅里亞稱，這是鋼鐵行業向脫碳邁出的“一大步”。她補充說，盡管該試點項目在煉鋼過程中進行了測試，但它可以應用于煉油過程。 

她補充說：“我們需要捕獲和儲存殘留排放:這就是為什么我們的研發團隊正在與我們的合作伙伴合作，在整個二氧化碳捕獲、儲存和使用過程中開發專業知識。”

在示范階段，試點項目每小時將捕獲0.5噸二氧化碳，相當于每年4000噸以上。  

項目由歐盟資助，耗資1470萬歐元。財團認為，這個項目是實現《巴黎協定》目標的“關鍵驅動力”，包括來自6個歐洲國家的12個研究和工業伙伴。

3D carbon capture pilot starts up in Dunkirk

A new ‘3D’ pilot designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial activities at ArcelorMittal’s Dunkirk site has begun operations as of today (22nd March).

Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, the new project – which aims to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as steelmaking – will work towards validating replicable technical solutions for carbon capture. 

This includes the verification of the DMX carbon capture process developed by IFP Energies Nouvelles (IFPEN) – a member of the consortium driving the project. 

Having been announced in 2019, the pilot’s main module delivery and assembly took place last December at ArcelorMittal’s Dunkirk site and – with connection to the plant complete – the unit is now ready for start-up. 

Calling it a ‘big step’ towards decarbonising the industry, Marie-Noelle Semeria, CTO, TotalEnergies, a member of the consortium, added that although being tested in steelmaking, the pilot can be applied to refining processes. 

“We need to capture and store residual emissions: that’s why our R&D teams are working alongside our partners to develop expertise throughout the CO2 capture, storage and use process,” she added. 

During the demonstration stage, the pilot will capture 0.5 tonnes of CO2 an hour, equating to more than 4,000 tonnes per year. 

The 14.7m EU-funded project is considered by the consortium as a ‘vital driver’ for reaching Paris Agreement targets and includes twelve partners from research and industry in six European countries.
