Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS)
High-Temperature Heat Pumps are key components in CCUS processes. They supply high-temperature heat for the regeneration of solvents, ensuring energy-efficient operation of carbon capture systems, and can also provide steam or hot water when required for other industrial processes.
Simultaneously, they meet the cooling needs of the flue gases prior to the absorption phase.
This dual capability—delivering green high-temperature heating and cooling—significantly boosts the decarbonization potential of CCUS technologies, enabling more practical large-scale deployment. In particular, integrating Turboden High-Temperature Heat Pumps into amine-based CCUS plants can improve sequestration efficiency by up to 20% compared to conventional systems powered by natural gas boilers or combined heat and power plants.
Moreover, Turboden High-Temperature Heat Pumps can be seamlessly integrated into other carbon capture processes requiring both heating and cooling, further enhancing their role in industrial decarbonization strategies.
PROCESS PLANTS
Process plants—such as cement manufacturing facilities—often lack on-site steam availability, creating a challenge for implementing carbon capture technologies. Without steam, plants typically rely on fossil fuels to power the CCS plant, thereby increasing the facility’s carbon footprint, expanding its physical footprint, or reducing its CO₂ capture rate.
Integrating a Turboden High-Temperature Heat Pump provides a sustainable solution by supplying electrified heat and by eliminating the need for fossil fuel-based steam generation. This reduces environmental impact, lowers operational costs, and enables more scalable and economically viable CCS deployment across industrial sectors.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY / POWER GENERATION
Waste-to-energy and power generation plants are often connected to local or municipal district heating networks. When a carbon capture plant is added, a portion of the available heat is redirected to power the capture process. Although using waste heat to operate a CCS plant is highly efficient, it can reduce the amount of heat available for district heating networks—potentially affecting revenue.
A Turboden High-Temperature Heat Pump offers a flexible and efficient solution.
It can:
- Replace the waste heat, delivered to the CCS process, and serve the district heating network with hot water
- Supply heat directly to the CCS plant, preserving waste heat for the district heating network.
This versatility ensures optimal energy utilization while maintaining—or even enhancing—revenue from heat sales. It balances sustainability with economic performance and integrates seamlessly with energy-intensive industrial processes.
