Abstract


A flexible and transparent multi-criteria model is being developed to evaluate the sustainability of carbon capture technologies and chains: to guide policy makers, investors and technology developers on important challenges and opportunities. The model is built with a techno-economic and a GHG assessment with a hybrid LCA approach. The model has demonstrated important benefits from combination of economic and process data, such as making the analysis more efficient and how a GHG assessment can expand the scope and of a techno-economic assessment.

Keywords
