DECD0000051

1. Design, build, and commence operations of a solvent-based post combustion carbon capture system to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from a stream at Vicksburg Pulp and Paper Mill Facility (120,000 T-CO2/year) and validate at least 90% carbon capture efficiency and 95% CO2 purity under real exhaust conditions, for at least 2,000 hours of continuous steady-state operation.

2. Achieve DOE Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 for solvent-based post combustion carbon capture technology by the completion of the performance period.

3. Complete at least one (1) year of large-scale pilot testing of a carbon capture technology under real exhaust conditions (e.g., normal steady-state [at least 2,000 hours] and dynamic operations) covering the full spectrum of performance conditions, meeting key technical performance targets, and collect required data to quantify other project benefits or negative impacts.

4. Achieve at least 2,000 hours of continuous operation under stable conditions at performance targets that can enable validation of a commercial-scale process using techno-economic analysis (TEA) & life cycle analysis (LCA) models that are informed with data from the testing.
