A blast furnace facility includes a process for capturing and sequestering CO2 generated from the facility process, producing hydrogen from the hot blast furnace gas, and using blast furnace gas as methanol feed. The CO2 rich streams from the facility may be sent to sequestration of some form via a sequestration compressor, thereby reducing the overall emissions from the facility. The other products generated by the facility are used as methanol feedstock and to produce hydrogen.

In a process for separating carbon dioxide from a waste gas (3) of a fluid bed catalytic cracking installation (1) containing carbon dioxide, nitrogen and possibly carbon monoxide, the waste gas (3) is separated by adsorption to form a gas enriched in carbon dioxide and depleted in nitrogen (29) and a gas rich in nitrogen and depleted in carbon dioxide (31), and at least a portion of the gas enriched in carbon dioxide and depleted in nitrogen is separated in a separation device (30) by way of separation at a temperature of less than 0° C. by partial condensation and/or by distillation to form a fluid rich in carbon dioxide (35) and a fluid depleted in carbon dioxide (37).

The present invention provides a new method for fixing carbon dioxide. The method for fixing carbon dioxide of the present invention, includes: a contact step of bringing a mixed liquid containing sodium hydroxide and further containing at least one of a chloride of a Group 2 element or a chloride of a divalent metal element into contact with a gas containing carbon dioxide, wherein in the contact step, the mixed liquid and the gas are brought into contact with each other by feeding the gas into the mixed liquid, a concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the mixed liquid is 0.01 N or more and 0.2 N or less, and in the contact step, the feeding is performed by a motor-driven pump, and the motor is driven by utilizing power generated by photovoltaic power generation.

A method for capturing CO.sub.2 from a gas stream using a metal organic framework (MOF) based physisorbent CO.sub.2 concentrator is provided. In the method, MOF material is pretreated, a gas stream is then introduced into the CO.sub.2 concentrator which comprises the pretreated MOF material. CO.sub.2 from the gas stream is captured with the CO.sub.2 concentrator to generate a CO.sub.2-free stream, which is discharged the from the CO.sub.2 concentrator into the atmosphere. Introduction of the gas stream into the CO.sub.2 concentrator is stopped when the pretreated MOF material becomes saturated with CO.sub.2. The CO.sub.2 concentrator with the saturated MOF material is then regenerated by introducing hot air, hot nitrogen, vacuum, or a combination thereof into the CO.sub.2 concentrator thereby generating a CO.sub.2-rich stream. The CO.sub.2-rich stream is diverted for purification and the regenerated CO.sub.2 concentrator is recycled for future capture of CO.sub.2.
