GHG reduction project: Carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization technology (CCUS)

Carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) technology involves selectively separating and recovering carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plant exhaust gas to reduce emissions into the atmosphere. The captured CO2 is stored in a liquid state and can be used directly or converted for other purposes.Top of Form KEPCO E&C designed a post-combustion wet CO2 capture facility, post-combustion dry CO2 capture facility, and pre-combustion dry CO2 capture facility processes and performed the feasibility review of commercial grade CO2 facility. We are currently carrying out the process improvement of a 10 MW (200 tons/day) wet amine CO2 capture facility for the Boryeong Thermal Power Plant and a 10 MW dry CO2 capture facility for the Hadong Thermal Power Plant, and the basic design for commercial grade (150 MW) CO2 capture facility.
