TY  - JOUR
AB - Solvent-based postcombustion carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>) capture requires minimum retrofitting of current CO<inf>2</inf>-emitting power plants but is challenging because of the high energy penalty in solvent regeneration and the environmental impacts of solvent degradation. Research efforts are predominantly based on lab and pilot-scale experiments to select solvents and process systems which improve the overall performance of this technology. Notwithstanding the value of the experimental efforts, this study proposes an efficient computational approach for screening a vast number of commercial and novel solvents and process configurations. Computer-aided molecular design, advanced group contribution methods, process synthesis, and multicriteria sustainability assessment are combined to provide new insights in solvent-based CO<inf>2</inf> capture. This study provides details of the data requirements, highlights several high-performance solvents and process configurations, and quantifies the benefits from economic, life cycle, and hazard assessment perspective. Thus, it also provides information for the experimental approaches, focusing on a narrower, near-optimum design space.
