dc.description.abstract | CO2 emissions from industrial processes adversely affect the environment, with significant contributions to climate change. Therefore, there is a global need to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Through this work, a tool that optimizes energy reuse while reducing emissions and maximizing profit was applied to an industrial cluster made up of several plants and/or processes producing several different products. There has been a recent focus on carbon capture utilization and storage solutions that integrate natural gas, energy, and other key materials like CO2. This work introduces an integration approach to design a carbon neutral industrial park from resources such as natural gas, water, air, emissions, and energy as heat and power, to produce value-added products. The approach applies a Linear Program (LP) that can be applied to various combinations of plants, to find the optimum configuration for a set target. An illustrative example that explores different target scenarios and combinations was investigated to verify the approach. | |
