The University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center (UNDEERC) and project partners Red Trail Energy LLC (RTE), Trimeric Corporation, and KLJ are completing an initial engineering design and cost estimate for the installation of a hybrid system for the capture and compression of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated from an ethanol production facility near Richardton, North Dakota. The hybrid capture system combines commercially available technologies of chemical absorption to process the CO2 emissions associated with heat production (i.e., steam generated by firing a natural gas boiler) and liquefaction to process the CO2 emissions associated with bioprocessing at RTE’s ethanol plant. The project team will complete a pre-front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) analysis of the hybrid capture system, which includes an environmental health and safety (EH&S) risk assessment, a constructability review, identification of permits, and corporate approvals. A techno-economic assessment (TEA) and pre-FEED-level cost estimate will also be completed.
