Abstract
In this paper the economic and technical effects of using CO2 rich natural gas in an industrial cluster are analyzed. The basis for the work is a technical-economic description the processes in the different plants. A mathematical model is established that enable analysis and optimization of design and operation of the industrial cluster. The model maximizes the net present value of the available investment possibilities and optimizes the resulting operational opportunities. The candidate plants considered in this case study are; a DRI plant, a steel plant (EAF), a methanol plant, a carbon black plant, a combined cycle power plant and a carbon capture facility. Norway is used as a case study region due to the political ambitions of increasing domestic use of natural gas to achieve a higher level of innovation and industrial development. Several scenarios are analyzed, and the main findings from this case study are that there could be both environmental and economic benefits by using a CO2 rich gas (typical 8%-10% CO2) in an integrated industrial cluster.
