Abstract
There have been many field carbon capture test facilities operated around the world over the last decade or so with a view to technology development and demonstrating and reducing capture cost to make CCS cost effective. A wide range of conventional and emerging technologies are undergoing tests by CO2CRC Limited (CO2CRC), using real feed gas from a variety of processes. Although learning by doing is the main motive for most of these tests, some went through systematic programs to step up the TRL ladder towards commercial readiness. This paper reports the results of each test facility to show the extent of learnings.
