Analysis of a precipitating solvent absorption process for reducing CO2 emissions from black coal fired power generation

A detailed cost analysis of various cases of CO2 capture with and without heat integration is also performed. The results suggest that compared to standard amine-based solvent technologies, the UNO MK 3 process can provide up to 50% cost savings in the cost of CO2 avoided. The levelised cost of electricity also reduces by up to 35% using UNO MK 3 compared to commercial amine-based solvent technologies.
