Job Description
Project
Implementation of a CO2 capture system in an Hydrogen production plant, based on Steam Methane Reforming (SMR)
Specific Objectives
Advisory services:
1. CO2 capture suppliers assessment for the Steam Methane Reforming (SMR)
2. Update of the techno-economic analysis of the CO2 capture plant
Advisory tasks to be performed under the Services
Task A. Technical support for the contractual preparation
A1. Identification of potential carbon capture suppliers relevant for the project.
A2. Screening and pre-selection of carbon capture suppliers, based on the results of A1.
A3. Evaluation and scoring of suppliers pre-selected in A2.
A4. Definition of quantitative and qualitative data for the carbon capture suppliers assessment, and definition storage and/or utilization routes.
(i)Quantitative estimation of the CO2 capture and avoidance rates, fuel consumption, and hydrogen production
(ii)Definition of the integration of the CO2 capture system(s) in the SMR (Steam Methane Reforming)
(iii)Definition of the CO2 storage or utilization options
(iv)(iv) Identification of technical barriers in the integration of the carbon capture plant with the original plant, carbon capture plant operation, and storage or utilization stages.
(v)(v) Preparation of the technical documentation for the Client, supported on previous tasks
A5. Preparation of techno-economic information to feed the economic and financial models
(i)Review of the technical parameters and the CAPEX and OPEX calculations from the Client
(vi)Update of the CAPEX and OPEX calculations, based on the suppliers identified in A1-A3 and information from the Client.
It is noted that:
- The Consultant shall define the scoring methodology used in A3
- The Consultant shall define the key technical parameters to analyse the carbon capture process and blue hydrogen production.
- The outputs from A4 shall include CAPEX and OPEX calculations, hydrogen production cost, and a cost breakdown where required
- The Consultant shall define the economic assumptions and limitations of the economic analysis in A4.
Available documentation: Project documentation shall be provided by the Client, including updated information on the energy costs, raw materials, and other relevant information for the CAPEX and OPEX calculations Project documentation shall be provided by the Client, including the technical project description with the latest information available.
