CAPTURA Y ALMACENAMIENTO DE CARBONO PARA MITIGAR EL CAMBIO CLIMáTICO: MODELO DE OPTIMIZACIóN APLICADO A BRASIL

摘要

Currently, climate change and its consequences for the world economy have attracted a lot of multidisciplinary research. In this article, we study the carbon capture and storage (CCS) problem as one of the technological alternatives proposed by the scientific community to mitigate climate change. We present a mixed integer linear programming model to design the infrastructure supply chain network that makes possible the capture and storage of carbon, considering both, the technical and economic aspects involved in the problem. We use the proposed model to study the case of the cement industry in Brazil. Two scenarios of CO 2 reductions are considered: 5 Mt and 10 Mt per year. In addition, regarding the required investments to reach the desired reductions, a synthesis of the findings is reported, which includes the reservoirs to be activated as well as the pipeline networks that should be constructed.
