Siemens and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, an independent research-driven graduate-level university focused on advanced energy and sustainable technologies, successfully concluded the first carbon capture and storage (CCS) research collaboration project. The R&D projects are focused on the improvement and adaptation of the proprietary Siemens Post-Combustion technology to the requirements of the local markets, i.e. CO2 capture at gas fired power stations and utilization of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Start of the first project on "Evaluation of CO2 Purification Requirements and Evaluation of Processes for Impurities Removal from the CO2 Product Stream" was in May 2011. The project evaluated the CO2 purification requirements for the CO2 pipeline transportation, EOR and CO2 geological storage. Furthermore it assessed the CO2 streams specifications and impurities combined with the selection and evaluation of the processes for CO2 stream purification.
