We suggest that the standard operating pressure for capturing CO2 with the CESAR1 solvent be evaluated, as it provides an opportunity for reduced energy consumption while also monitoring solvent health over extended periods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Keywords<\/span>: CO2 capture, CESAR1, Advanced configurations, Pilot-scale<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Authors<\/span>: Isaac Appelquist L\u00f8ge, Can Demir, Sai Hema Bhavya Vinjarapu, Randi Neerup, Ebbe Hauge Jensen, Jens Kristian J\u00f8rsboe, Maria Dimitriadi, Vanja Buvik, Halil Halilov, Carsten Fritzner Fr\u00f8strup, Istvan Gyorbiro, Nomiki Kottaki, Asams Nelliparambil Jayan, S\u00f8ren Jensen, Jakob Lindkvist Karlsson, Philip Loldrup Fosb\u00f8l.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1385894725047357&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Read full publication&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#63afb0&#8243; button_border_radius=&#8221;43px&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_post_nav prev_text=&#8221;Previous news&#8221; next_text=&#8221;Next news&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][dsm_blog_carousel include_categories=&#8221;6&#8243; excerpt_length=&#8221;20&#8243; use_author=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dsm_blog_carousel][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract Carbon capture from hard-to-abate industries is essential.
