Abstract
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is becoming an important application sector for carbon capture utilization and storage (CCS) due to its role in urban waste management and its inherent potential of achieving negative emissions. In this talk, I will introduce a series of modelling activities in gProcess and Aspen for the thermal integration of WtE plants with amine-based Post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC). I will present the heat recovery potential from the PCC process to provide heat for WtE that connected to the District Heating network. I will also highlight the importance of assessment metrics in terms of differentiating carbon intensities for different product bases, especially in the application of WtE and industrial sectors. This research is partly funded by the NESEST-CCUS programme.
