Demonstration of CO2 capture for flue gas of a glass factory

In the project "Connecting CO2 the next step - Carbon Capture and Use", two pilot demonstrations with a post-combustion CO2 capture setup of TNO were carried out at Ardagh Glass (Moerdijk) and Zeeland Refinery (Vlissingen). This article describes the demonstration at Ardagh, but the demonstration at Zeeland Refinery showed comparable results. CO2 is currently used in applications like horticulture, the production of inorganic components and food additives. Several chains of producers and users of CO2 in the southern part of the Netherlands have been identified. In the final stage of the project the business cases for these chains will be evaluated.
