The forecasted price of carbon dioxide in 2020 is expected to be at $25 per ton, and
increases to approximately $53 in 2030 and $120 in 2050, representing a $52 per ton
levelized price over the period 2020‐2050.
According to the amount of carbon dioxide being produced by the para-xylene plant, 11 100
kg/annum which is 925 kg/day, the expected raw profit per annum for the para-xylene plant
from selling its captured carbon dioxide is $ 15 873 000 per annum and $ 48 100 per day.
NITROGEN CAPTURING
Carbon dioxide is collected using post combustion carbon dioxide capturing after the
flaring
Once nitrogen is separated from carbon dioxide using this techniques, it can be stored in
storage tanks before being sold off
With gaseous nitrogen storage, there are no hazmat, special handling, safety or insurance
issues
38 385 kg per day, 12 667 050 kg per annum is being produced as waste
$ 0.23 per kg Nitrogen gas (www.puritygas.com)
Industrial Uses of Nitrogen
New E factor = 52 176.50 kg of waste per day / 320,117.52 kg of product per day
= 0.16
Carbon Capturing & Storage- Costing
Key assumption for costing for post combustion carbon capture system (capture,
storage and transportation) (Carbon Capture & Storage Association, 2019)
Descriptions Remarks
Carbon Dioxide Generated Per Day 11100.32 kg/day
Carbon Dioxide Generated Per Year 3663.11 tonnes/day
Cost Of Post Combustion Carbon $ 39.19 to $ 55.98 per tonnes
