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

CCUS(Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage) technology involves selectively sequestering 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. KEPCO E&C has designed the process for post-combustion wet CO₂capture facilities, post-combustion dry CO₂ capture facilities, and pre-combustion dry CO₂ capture facilities and performed feasibility review for commercial-scale CO₂ facilities. We are currently working on the process improvement of 10 MW (200 tons/day) wet amine CO₂ capture facilities for Boryeong Coal-fired Power Plant and 10 MW dry CO₂ capture facilities for Hadong Coal-fired Power Plant, and the basic design for commercial-scale (150 MW) CO₂ capture facilities.
