Our ever-increasing interest in economic growth is leading the way to the decline of natural resources, the detriment of air quality, and is fostering climate change. One potential solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial emitters is the exploitation of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Among the various CO2 separation technologies, cryogenic carbon capture (CCC) could emerge by offering high CO2 recovery rates and purity levels. This review covers the different CCC methods that are being developed, their benefits, and the current challenges deterring their commercialisation. It also offers an appraisal for selected feasible small- and large-scale CCC applications, including blue hydrogen production and direct air capture. This work considers their technological readiness for CCC deployment and acknowledges competing technologies and ends by providing some insights into future directions related to the R&D for CCC systems.

Abstract Thermoacoustics (TA) engines and refrigerators typically run on the Stirling cycle with acoustic networks and resonators replacing the physical pistons. Without moving parts, these TA machines achieve a reasonable fraction of Carnot’s efficiency. They are also scalable, from fractions of a Watt up to kW of cooling. Despite their apparent promise, TA devices are not in widespread use, because outside of a few niche applications, their advantages are not quite compelling enough to dislodge established technology. In the present study, the authors have evaluated a selected group of applications that appear suitable for utilization of industrial waste heat using TA devices and have arrived at a ranked order. The principal thought is to appraise whether thermoacoustics can be a viable path, from both an economic and energy standpoint, for carbon mitigation in those applications. The applications considered include cryogenic carbon capture for power plant exhaust gases, waste-heat powered air conditioning/water chilling for factories and office buildings, hydrogen liquefaction, and zero-boiloff liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage. Although the criteria used for evaluating the applications are somewhat subjective, the overall approach has been consistent, with the same set of criteria applied to each of them. Thermoeconomic analysis is performed to evaluate the system viability, together with overall consideration of a thermoacoustic device’s general nature, advantages, and limitations. Our study convincingly demonstrates that the most promising application is zero-boiloff liquid hydrogen storage, which is physically well-suited to thermoacoustic refrigeration and requires cooling at a temperature and magnitude not ideal for standard refrigeration methods. Waste-heat powered air conditioning ranks next in its potential to be a viable commercial application. The rest of the applications have been found to have relatively lower potentials to enter the existing commercial space.
