Summary
In the last decade, achieving carbon neutrality has become a major focus for various countries and economic sectors globally. Various techniques and planning tools have been proposed in order to achieve the carbon neutrality target by the mid of this century. Carbon capture, utilisation and storage, as well as negative emission technologies are among those that have received good attention in recent years, apart from the conventional renewable energy. For effective deployment of these technologies, various planning tools were proposed. Among them, process integration techniques have received good attention and have been utilised in various countries and sectors for decarbonisation efforts. Past works were reported for the use of these techniques at various scales, ranging from product carbon footprint reduction, plant-level CO2 emissions reduction, to regional or nation-wide greenhouse emission avoidance; which is now known as carbon management network in short. This talk will present various insight-based techniques developed in the past decade in addressing CO2 reduction problems.
