Cost of cement clinker with and without CO2 capture (CEMCAP)

The cost of making a tonne of clinker, the main ingredient of cement, in one modelled European cement plant without capturing its CO2 (62.6 euros) and with each of six capture technologies (93.0 to 120.0 euros), all on the same prices, as the CEMCAP project published it.

What was done to it

  1. Read the text of the PDF (sha256 50f05980ed4f…). Found each of the 1 quoted statement(s) word for word on PDF page(s) 11, and the 4 context sentence(s) the scope relies on, before publishing.

  2. Published each number exactly as printed, with its statement in the value's note. A range 'A-B%' is published as its low end A and high end B (dimension 'bound'); nothing was computed, rounded or combined with any other source.

  3. Table 6's column order (Ref. Cement Plant, MEA, Oxyfuel, CAP, MAL, CaL-Tail-End, CaL-Integrated) was checked in the page text, and the row's numbers had to be exactly the seven values in that order.

What it covers

Geography
A modelled European reference cement plant
Basis
One modelled best-available-technology European cement plant (3,000 tonnes of clinker a day, defined by ECRA), without CO2 capture and with each of six capture technologies, on one set of prices: coal 3 euros per gigajoule, electricity 58.1 euros per megawatt-hour, 8% discount rate, 91.3% capacity factor, all costs in 2014 euros, no carbon tax. The reference plant's direct cost is based on IEAGHG estimates. Capture covers most but not all of the plant's emissions. The period is the price base year (2014); the article was published in 2019.
Unit
euros (2014) per tonne of clinker (€/t clinker)
