November 14, 2017 -- Bonn, Germany

ICEF Carbon Dioxide Utilization Roadmap 2.0

• Analyzed CO2 utilization technologies and market

potential in wide range of areas.

• Found significant market and CO2 mitigation potential

Background -- ICEF CO2 Utilization Roadmap 1.0 (November 2016)

Deeper analysis of:

• Cement and aggregates (near-term)

• Chemicals (medium-term)

• Durable carbon materials (long-term)

• Policy options

• Life cycle analysis

Small-Scale Production: Primus Green Energy

• Primus had developed a range of flexible gas-to-liquids systems that can produce methanol, DME or gasoline.

• The systems are simple and economical at scales as low as 500 MMBtu/day.

• Feedstocks: flare gas; stranded ethane; pipeline natural gas; excess syngas from underutilized reformers.

Key Messages

• R&D required to bring most products to market

• Market development will require policy support

• Life cycle assessment is key

Concrete & Aggregates

• Near-term opportunity

• Energetically favored but slow reactions

• Direct use of CO2 in concrete could have large

climate benefits

• Raw materials are a challenge for aggregates

Key Messages

6

Key Messages

Commodity Chemicals

• Near-to-mid term opportunity

• Many products and technology pathways

• Low-carbon electricity and hydrogen need for

climate benefit

• R&D to advance new pathways needed

7

Key Messages

Durable Carbon Materials

• Long-term opportunity

• Potentially high value, large future market

• High leverage on energy-saving applications

• R&D to advance basic understanding needed

8

• Improved catalysis

• Reactor design that takes advantage of

advanced manufacturing technology

• Integration of CCU with CCS

• Identification of barriers to scale-up

Cross-cutting R&D needs

9

• The LCA and energy modeling

communities should collaborate to

improve consequential LCA for CO2-

based products

• The CO2U community should be

cognizant of the lessons learnt from

LCA of biofuels and CCS

• Point answers are inadequate: ideally,

use probabilistic uncertainly analysis

and, at a minimum, parametric

sensitivity analyses

Lifecycle assessment is essential

Climate is important, but so are

other environmental impacts

10

Policy support is essential

• Significant R&D needs

• Climate mitigation benefits not

captured by markets

• Market barriers (e.g., incomplete

standards) need identification and

work to change

11

2. Carbon Price

Policy Tools

3. Mandates

1. Government support for R&D

4. Pipeline development

8. Product labeling

5. Government procurement

6. Lifecycle assessments

7. Certification and testing

12

• Our report identifies pathways to

achieve it in:

• Cements

• Chemicals

• Durable Carbon Materials

• R&D extent, development of

lifecycle methods that are widely

agreed upon, and policy support

will determine timing for climate

impact.

Conclusion: CO2 utilization is feasible and can be beneficial
