Analysis of demand for captured CO2 and products from CO2 conversion
Global climate change is a real issue facing the planet, industry and government. Programs like Cap and Trade and a move away from coal as a primary source of energy are only part of a larger, more encompassing, solution. Limited fossil feedstock resources and the increased emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere confound the issue. But there is hope. CO2 has the potential to be successfully (and profitably) captured and converted into new fuels as well as useful products. How to do this, and when will it realistically happen, are questions on the minds of many.
In the comprehensive report, “Analysis of Demand for Captured CO2 and Products from CO2 Conversion,” members of The Catalyst Group Resources’ (TCGR’s) Carbon Dioxide Capture & Conversion (CO2CC) Program have exclusive access to detailed information addressing the potential market demand for captured CO2 and products from CO2 conversion. In broad terms, the report presents the demand for CO2 that may be used by several different industrial sectors, including fuels, petrochemical intermediates and final products, as well as fine chemicals. More specifically, three fields of application are considered: (1) Production of chemicals and fuels; (2) Enhanced fixation into aquatic biomass; and (3) Use as technological fluid, including EOR. In each section, the energy source for the exploitation of the above options is considered and framed into the existing paradigm shift from fossil carbon to perennial sources exploitation (e.g., solar-, wind-, and geothermal-energy).
The report addresses three (3) critical parameters: (1) the capture of CO2 (sources and technologies); (2) the nature of compounds derived from CO2; and (3) the time scale for their production. The actual market is analyzed in detail as are the trends in growth. Overall, the report covers:
· How and when the substantial volumes of CO2 might be utilized should CO2 capture proceed to broad adoption.
· CO2 sources, volumes, market applications, and technologies.
· The potential market of CO2 in the short-(2020), medium-(2030), and long-terms (2050).
