How will the use of the Cryocap™ FG technology help reduce CO2 emissions?


Within the next decade, the CCS (carbon capture and storage) system at the Revo IBS Cement Plant will cut CO2 emissions by over 10 million tonnes, leading to a 10% annual reduction in CO2 emissions across the cement industry in Asia. This significant achievement will be made possible by the implementation of Cryocap™ FG technology.At



How Cryocap™ FG Technology Operates


A dedicated facility for capturing and liquefying carbon dioxide will be constructed at the Revo IBS Cement Plant, utilizing Air Liquide’s Cryocap™ FG technology. This innovative solution enables the complete elimination of CO2 emissions produced during the firing of clinker, the primary component in cement manufacturing.


Cryocap™ FG technology reduces CO2 emissions by applying increased pressure to efficiently separate carbon dioxide from the flue gases generated in the clinker kiln. The captured CO2 is then liquefied through a cryogenic (low-temperature) process. Following liquefaction, the CO2 undergoes purification to remove any remaining air components.



CO2 Transport and Storage


The liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto specially designed railway cars and transported to a transshipment facility at a seaport. From there, it will be shipped to the Sea for storage.


The CO2 will be securely stored in dedicated caverns located on the seabed of the Sea—these are empty spaces in the rock formations left after the extraction of gas and oil deposits. This represents the final stage in the process of achieving full CO2 reduction.
