3).
In the next step the calcium carbonate is thermally decomposed in a classical Calciner at 900°C. This is like the production of lime or cement and releases carbon dioxide (CaCO
3 CaO + CO
2). Unlike classical calciners, the CO
2is not released into the atmosphere, but separated from the process gases. The resultant high purity CO
2 is available for utilisation or sequestration.
The remaining calcium oxide is hydrated in a steam slaker at 300°C (CaO + H
2O Ca(OH)
2), and the regenerated calcium hydroxide is fed back into the pellet reactor in step two above.
The specific energy demand varies, depending on the Calciner input energy method and operating temperature. The total specific energy is 1,850 kWh/Tonne of CO

Carbon removal technologies will be necessary to limit the increase in planetary warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the United Nations has said.

âWeâre seeing tech funds, venture funds investing in this space looking for opportunities to invest in carbon reduction,â Woods said. âThis I think is an opportunity for our Low Carbon Solutions business.â
Providing more detail on Exxonâs recently-announced efforts to commercialize low-carbon technologies, Woods stressed that partnering with outside investors would be a key objective of the new division. It would also mean Exxon would not need to fund large projects solely with its own cash.
