The overall objective of the project is to perform the preliminary development work for an integrated CO2 capture and storage project at the mitchell cement plant

During the proposed project, the team will apply its extensive knowledge base, built from previous feed studies, to complete the conceptual design of a carbon capture system capable of capturing a minimum of 95% of the CO2 emissions. The feed study for the CO2 capture system will include significant design deliverables consistent with the level needed to develop an aace class 3 estimate with an accuracy of ±15%. For the entire scope of the capture facility and balance of plant systems and will expand upon the work being completed under fecm FOA-2515 (DE-FE0032222). In addition to the feed study for the CO2 capture system, the project team will develop a feed study for the CO2 pipeline and a storage field development plan to permanently sequester the captured CO2 onsite under fecm FOA 2610, DE-FE0032268. The development of the major permits needed for the integrated CO2 capture project to move forward, such as the air permit and class VI well permit to construct will be included in this project scope of work. Capture, transport, and storage plans will be integrated in the scope of this project, pending deliverables of final feed studies and site characterization from (DE-FE0032222 and DE-FE0032268.) the proposed project also includes execution of the community benefits plan (CBP). The completed feed study will include the design of a cost-effective carbon capture and storage (CCS) system for a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient cement facility with extremely low emissions. In addition, to advancing this project to be ready for the next phase, this feed study will demonstrate that CO2 capture can be integrated into new and existing cement plants.
