CO2回収・利用(CCU)によるメタノール合成は回収・圧縮工程のエネルギー消費が課題。本研究は脱離・圧縮を省くICCUの経済性・環境性を従来CCU(MEA)と比較評価した。ICCUは回収工程のエネルギーを削減する一方、蒸留負荷増で精製エネルギーが増大し、回収節約と分離コストのトレードオフが生じる。CO2回収容量とメタノール活性がICCUの経済・環境両面の成立性を左右する。
English
This study techno-economically compares integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU) to methanol against conventional CCU with MEA. ICCU cuts capture energy but raises purification/distillation loads, creating a trade-off between capture savings and separation costs. Minimum methanol selling prices were 1997 USD/t (ICCU-TMHDA) and 1959 USD/t (CCU-MEA), while ICCU-NEt3 reached 5687 USD/t, dropping to 1735 USD/t with higher solvent flowrate. High CO2 capture capacity and methanol activity are decisive for viability.

日本のGX文脈において
CCUS/メタノール合成は日本のGX推進戦略やグリーン成長戦略で重点領域とされ、合成燃料・e-methanol供給のコスト低減は産業脱炭素とエネルギー安全保障に直結する。本評価は日本企業がCCU設備投資を検討する際のコスト構造理解に資する。
In the global GX context
CCU-to-methanol sits at the center of global decarbonization pathways for hard-to-abate sectors and e-fuels, and this work quantifies the cost trade-offs that determine whether integrated capture designs can compete. It informs transition-finance and industrial policy decisions on CCUS deployment economics.

📄 Abstract(原文)
Solvent regeneration and gas compression in CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) to methanol processes are energy- and cost-intensive. Integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU) has been proposed to eliminate the desorption and compression steps; however, the complexity of ICCU potentially shifts energy demands elsewhere, impacting the overall economics. This work evaluates whether ICCU offers economic and environmental advantages over a conventional CCU process (CCU-MEA case). Experimental methanol activities for two ICCU solvent systems of hexanol–triethylamine (ICCU-NEt3 case) and ethylene glycol–tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine (ICCU-TMHDA case) were collected for process simulations. ICCU cases reduced energy requirements in CO2 capture while increasing energy use in purification steps due to higher distillation loads, revealing a trade-off between capture savings and separation costs. CO2 capture capacity strongly influenced the minimum methanol selling prices as ICCU-TMHDA and CCU-MEA cases achieved 1997 and 1959 USD/t, respectively, while the ICCU-NEt3 case reached 5687 USD/t due to limited capture performance. Increasing the solvent flowrate in the ICCU-NEt3 process reduced the minimum selling price to 1735 USD/t. The presented results emphasize that high CO2 capture capacity and methanol activity are decisive for making ICCU both economically and environmentally viable, providing guidance for designing industrial ICCU systems for methanol synthesis.
