In order to mitigate climate change, there is a desperate need to reduce CO2 emissionsfrom different sources. CO2 capture and sequestration will play an important role in thesereductions. This report is focused on the capture of CO2 from flue gas emitted by a coalfired power plant, which is also described in this report. From the available technologies,post combustion capture with chemical absorption is chosen. It is already been shown byprevious work that it is possible to capture CO2 by this method; this report goes a stepahead to simulate this process. Various methods available are described briefly alongwith the justification why 30% (wt) MEA is used as solvent for this kind of process. Afirst approach is made towards the simulation of the process using Aspen Plus 2006. Themass balance and the energy required for the process have been calculated. Forsimulation the help was taken from Aspen Plus 2006 documentation, also previous workassisted in performing it. The results obtained can be used as the base for optimizing thesimulation. / Uppsatsnivå: D
