2. Further Information
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Project Description | The first and currently (2021) only fully commercial CCS facility for the iron and steel industry globally. CO2 is captured from a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant, using traditional MEA abrorption/recovery system as part of reducing gas recycle leading to CO2 rich (>99%) waste stream, and dehydrated and compressed for distribution for EOR. Engineering Procurement and Construction contract awarded to Dodsal in Sept 2013 with Tebodin contracted for the detailed engineering design. Project in construction by Feb 2014, complete and being commissioned in Q3'16. Formal project launch Nov. 2016. Dec'17 - other industrial CO2 sources in region being assessed for potential capture. Jan'18, ADNOC buy out Masdar share of joint venture to take full ownership. The project has been captuirng 0.8MtCO2/yr since launching in 2016. |
