As part of efforts to combat climate change, many countries, companies and other organizations have committed to net zero emissions targets. Achieving these targets will require fundamental changes in the energy & chemical process industry. With many of the transformative technologies required still in their infancy, there is a need for solutions that support a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions now. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) can help reduce emissions from today’s fossil-based processes. Moreover, CCUS is particularly relevant for high-temperature chemical processes for which there are few alternatives.

By their very nature, CCUS facilities need to be tightly integrated into other process systems. This raises questions on how best to maximize efficiency of the overall system, what impact the CCUS process has on process dynamics and control, and how best to reduce capital and operating expenditure. Questions like these require a sufficiently accurate representation of the entire process, in order to accurately predict plant performance, and operate closer to true limitations.

In this webinar, we discuss how digital design techniques are used to map system interactions, predict process responses in highly transient scenarios, optimize equipment and system designs, and ultimately provide reassurance to all stakeholders in the CCUS chain to confidently navigate the road to decarbonization.
