This project investigates an amine-based Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) process aimed at reducing industrial carbon dioxide emissions. It centers on the design, analysis, and optimization of a system that captures, absorbs, and regenerates CO2. The goal is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner compared to current CCS technologies, thereby addressing climate change. The project uses amine-based solvents for capturing CO2 and designs a system with absorption, heating, and regeneration processes. The project captures 72.55% of CO2 from flue gas, significantly reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions and aiding in the fight against climate change.
