Abstract
Evaluates the opportunities and associated costs for post-combustion capture at a world-scale complex refinery.
Results indicate that it is technically feasible to apply post-combustion capture at such a refinery.
However, cost considerations indicate that justification of the implementation of post-combustion capture at refineries requires, either a significant increase in carbon trading values, mandatory regulations, or a major technological break-through.
