European CO2 test centre mongstad–Testing, verification and demonstration of post-combustion technologies

AbstractThe European CO2 Test Centre Mongstad project will construct two post-combustion CO2 capture test plants (amine and chilled ammonia) with total annual CO2 capacity of 100,000 tones. The ambitions are: •Develop technologies for CO2 capture capable of wide national and international deployment•Reduce cost and technical, environmental and financial risks related to large scale CO2 capture•Test, verify and demonstrate CO2 capture technology owned and marketed by vendors•Encourage the development of a market for such technology Both plants will be able to capture CO2 from two different flue gases with 3.5 and 12.9 mol% CO2
