Adoption Markets

The list of potential ERC adopters is virtually endless. Any emitter of large amounts of carbon dioxide, either from fuel combustion or other processes, could benefit from the implementation of ERC. Electric utilities, for example, that generate electricity from coal, natural gas, or oil (which account for about two thirds of electricity production globally) emit enormous amounts of the greenhouse gas through the combustion of these fuels. Cement producers also generate a great deal of carbon dioxide, about 830 kg per tonne of cement, during the production of clinker. The production of crude steel can result in the release of anywhere between 500 and 2,500 kilograms of the gas per tonne of product. These plants represent “point sources” where large volumes are emitted from a single location. Chemical production facilities, including petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper plants, aluminum factories, and many others are also point sources.



Global emissions from 2005 from a selection of potential ERC adopters are depicted in the chart below. As it shows, the amounts of carbon dioxide released from these industries are enormous: from 1.1 billion tonnes per year emitted by iron and steel to 6.6 billion from coal-burning power plants. On a global scale, these industries represent a virtually infinite resource for Mantra Energy’s ERC process.





Although the above chart is enlightening as to the global market, for the purposes of adoption, it is more meaningful to look at carbon dioxide emissions on the plant scale. For example, a typical 500 MW coal-burning power plant, operating at a capacity factor of 70%, will generate about 3.07 million megawatt-hours (MWh) per year. With an emission intensity of 971 kg CO2 per MWh,2 such a plant will release about three million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Thus, even a single plant represents an enormous resource for the ERC process.
