CCUS : เทคโนโลยีเปลี่ยนเกมเพื่อความยั่งยืนและลดโลกร้อน
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a technology that has been widely recognized across the globe as a critical solution for reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and combating global warming. Thailand sees CCUS as a key opportunity to promote sustainability and low-carbon industry. The CCUS procedure is separated into three primary stages.
CCUS Process in Thailand: From Capture to Storage
Carbon Capture Capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions at their source—such as combustion processes in power plants or industrial
operations—is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The capture process involves monitoring and analyzing
emissions data to ensure the efficient and accurate capture of CO₂ using the following key instruments:
- CO₂ Analyzer Measures and monitors the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, providing precise and real-time data to support decision-making.
- Gas Chromatography Analyzes gas composition to identify and quantify CO₂ and other relevant substances
- PH Analyzer Monitors pH levels in related chemical processes, ensuring appropriate conditions for effective CO₂ capture
- LHV Analyzer Measures the lower heating value of fuels to optimize combustion efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions.
- Moisture Analyzer Ensures accurate moisture levels in exhaust gases, improving the accuracy of overall carbon assessments.
Utilization After CO₂ is captured, the next step is utilization, which involves converting carbon dioxide into useful resources within various production processes. While this may not directly reduce emissions, it adds value by turning waste into input resources.
Examples of CO₂ utilization include fertilizer production, agricultural productivity enhancement, synthetic fuel generation, and use in industrial chemistry. Key instruments include
- Gas Chromatography Measures and evaluates gas composition for effective quality control during CO₂-based production processes.
- Moisture Analyzer Monitors moisture levels to ensure optimal process conditions for CO₂ conversion.
Carbon Storage The final phase is carbon storage, which involves transporting and securely storing CO₂ to prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. This can be done underground or in designated storage sites. Proper storage ensures long-term climate
benefits and environmental safety. Key instruments for monitoring include
- CO₂ Analyzer Tracks residual emissions and verifies CO₂ integrity before and after storage.
- Gas Chromatography Detects and analyzes trace gases to ensure the reliability of storage.
- PH Analyzer Confirms chemical stability in stored environments to prevent leakage
- Moisture Analyzer Maintains proper moisture balance, supporting long-term storage integrity.
Critical Role of Analytical Instruments in CCUS
Provides real-time and accurate measurements for monitoring, verification, and compliance.
- Gas Chromatography (GC) Identifies and quantifies gas components related to CO₂ emissions and processes.
- CO₂ Analyzer Provides real-time and accurate measurements for monitoring, verification, and compliance.
- PH Analyzer Confirms chemical stability in stored environments to prevent leakage.
- LHV Analyzer Helps optimize combustion efficiency and reduce emissions upstream
- Moisture Analyzer Ensures reliable data for both capture and storage phases by managing moisture levels.
CCUS: Pillar of Thailand’s Sustainability Transition
CCUS implementation in Thailand is not just about reducing carbon emissions but also about seizing a key opportunity for transitioning toward a low-carbon economy. It promotes long-term industrial sustainability and strengthens Thailand’s competitiveness. With support from reliable CO₂ data and monitoring tools, CCUS can be an effective solution in tackling climate change while advancing clean energy transitions.
