Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of carbon dioxide (CO2) compression processes as part of the CCUS chain, with a specific focus on future ventures in Brazil. The method includes equipment specification and detailed cost estimation models for compressors and related infrastructure, aiming to provide valuable insights into performance and economic feasibility of a capture/transportation system. Key technical and economic parameters are evaluated, such as energy consumption during the compression stages, capital investment requirements, and operating and maintenance (O&M) costs of the system. This study is a seminal contribution offering a valuable knowledge base to the hard-to-abate Brazilian industry engaged in promoting sustainable development and achieving carbon neutrality goals.
