Foster Wheeler engineers outline options for carbon-capture in LNG liquefaction

摘要

The LNG industry has improved the overall thermal efficiency of the LNG supply chain components with the aim of limiting greenhouse-gas emissions and the concept for a zero CO2 emission LNG chain has been mooted. To achieve a zero or near zero CO2 emission LNG chain would require LNG liquefaction facilities with CCS systems integrated into the plant design. CCS is the process of removing or reducing the CO2 content of streams normally released to the atmosphere and transporting the captured CO2 to a location for permanent storage.
