In summary, amongst all the solutions presented, no optimum can be defined which is valid for every plant. Site-specific boundary conditions strongly influence both the choice of an adequate capture method and the final destination of the CO2 in long-term storage or products. Factors like the plant’s location, available materials, bottle-necks at the plant for an upgrade, or the time horizon for applications lead to a complex decision tree.
