China has pledged the dual carbon goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, underscoring the urgency and scale of the challenge. While Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as a promising approach, its large-scale implementation in emission-intensive industrial clustered region faces significant infrastructural challenges. Specifically, the optimal layout of regional CCUS clusterization and CO₂ transport networks remains unclear, particularly in highly industrialized regions such as China’s Jiangsu Province, where diverse industrial sectors and varied geological formations create complex source-sink matching challenges for CCUS deployment. In this study, we developed the SPATIAL (Strategic Pipeline And Technical Integration Analysis Layout) model that enables the optimization of CCUS deployment in emission-intensive regions from an industrial cluster perspective by integrating data of emissions from major industrial sources and storage potential from geological formations. The model was applied to Jiangsu Province under high, medium, and low emission reduction target scenarios through source-sink matching. Results show significant spatial heterogeneity between emission sources and geological storage resources in Jiangsu Province. For example, southern Jiangsu, characterized by high-intensity CO₂ emission clusters, accounts for 63 % of the province’s total emissions while holding only 0.03 % of the province’s geological storage potential. The optimal layout for regional CCUS clusterization deployment under high, medium, and low emission reduction targets achieve total CO₂ storage of 1.4, 1.1, and 0.9 Gt, respectively, supported by pipeline networks of 4629, 2513, and 1433 km. These layouts demonstrate economies of scale, with unit emission reduction costs ranging from 93.84 to 179.31 CNY/t CO₂. Our findings establish the technical and economic feasibility of achieving significant emission reductions through regional CCUS clusterization deployment and address a critical gap in ignoring the hot spot phenomenon of industrial cluster. This study further emphasizes the importance of inter-regional coordination, regional geological storage resource management, and integrated infrastructure planning in realizing cost-effective CCUS clusterization implementation. This study provides policymakers with actionable insights for formulating CCUS clusterization strategies in emission-intensive industrial regions, contributing to the broader goal of regional carbon neutrality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9387,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Capture Science & Technology","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100495"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145020149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important to develop solvents that reduce CO₂ capture cost without compromising the process performance or operations. To reduce regeneration energy, this study focuses on the development of aqueous blends of piperazine (PZ) and 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (3DMA1P) as an energy-efficient absorbent for CO₂ capture. The study relies on rigorous modeling, supported by experimental data. The experimental data from this study and the literature includes CO₂ solubility, NMR speciation, heat of absorption, and physical properties. To determine the potential application of PZ-3DMA1P blend for CO₂ capture, their equilibrium CO₂ solubility, cyclic capacity, heat of absorption, and, more importantly, solvent regeneration energy was investigated. Regeneration energy is calculated and evaluated under the influence of various operating parameters such as absorber temperature (313.15–343.15 K), stripper temperature (373.15–403.15 K), CO₂ partial pressure (1–30 kPa), stripper total pressure (200–400 kPa), CO₂ recovery (80–95 %), amine blending ratio (PZ:3DMA1P, 0–10:40–30 wt.%) and water concentration (60–90 wt.%). The results were compared with those obtained under the same operating conditions using monoethanolamine (MEA) 30 and 40 wt.%, and CESAR-1, the benchmark solvents. Results of the current study for blends of PZ and 3DMA1P are promising, and the solvent system exhibits higher CO₂ absorption capacity and lower regeneration energy compared to MEA and CESAR-1.

Carbonate minerals are currently being manufactured from the abundant calcium-containing wastes and minerals that are generated by carbon mineralization technology in industry. Among these, calcium carbonate, which is highly versatile, generally exists in three crystal forms (vaterite, aragonite, and calcite). These three crystal forms must be freely controllable to increase the value and range of use of calcium carbonate. In this study, the variables of concentration, temperature, pH, stirring speed, and stirring time were changed during the reaction of calcium raw material (i.e., CaCl₂) and carbon raw material (i.e., K₂CO₃). In addition, the phase composition ratios were determined by Rietveld refinement analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Drawing on an extensive set of experimental data, we constructed data-driven predictive models by training and evaluating multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and decision tree (DT) algorithms. The best-performing model, selected by k-fold cross-validation, was then applied to determine the optimal operating conditions to control crystallinity.

Amine-functionalized adsorbents are promising because they have high CO₂ adsorption capacity, moderate adsorption heat and strong water resistance. Adsorption kinetics is a key performance parameter and facilitates the cognizance of microscopic CO₂ adsorption process. A novel kinetic model was proposed, which categorized the amines of solid amine adsorbents into two regions: the open amine region and the closed amine region. Different from the open amine region, CO₂ adsorption by amines in the closed amine region was significantly influenced by diffusion. The model could elucidate the effect of amine loading and temperature on CO₂ adsorption. When amine loading was below the theoretical maximum loading, the CO₂ adsorption capacity and the N efficiency gradually increased with the rise of amine loading. Nevertheless, as the amine loading further increased, the adsorption capacity decreased instead. CO₂ adsorption by solid amines was not affected by external diffusion, but was significantly affected by internal diffusion. The percentage of closed amine region of adsorbents with high amine loading was large, CO₂ needed to diffuse slowly into this region, leading to a small CO₂ adsorption capacity at low temperature. When the amine loading was less than 0.5, the CO₂ adsorption rate stayed almost the same. The model is instructive for the targeted preparation of solid amine adsorbents with fast adsorption rates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9387,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Capture Science & Technology","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144913466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
