Cost evaluation of potential technology for CO2 utilization with green energy sources generation compared to existing utilization technologies

Abstract

Results of summarizing literature review of cost evaluation for existing carbon dioxide utilization technologies are presented. Cost analysis for process components of CO2 utilization on iron-containing fillers with generation of environmental friendly energy sources has been performed. The ways for cost reduction are determined. The gross cost evaluation of the potential technology for CO2 utilization with generation of hydrogen and hydrocarbons is carried out. The conclusions about expediency of the potential technology are formulated, and further research directions are suggested. Keywords: carbon dioxide utilization; production cost; feasibility study; environmental friendly energy sources.
