The waste-to-energy plant, Amager Resource Centre (ARC) emits yearly 600,000 tons of CO2, which creates the perfect opportunity for adapting the carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in Denmark. 60-70% of the carbon are biogenic in nature. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has currently been operating a mobile pilot plant that captures CO2 from the exhaust gas at ARC. This work evaluates an initial emissions and solvent degradation campaign from the cleaned gas coming from the absorber and acid wash section on the pilot plant. This work presents a liquid analysis of the solvent degradation related to corrosion. The results are based on a pilot campaign using the benchmark solvent 30 wt% monoethanolamine (MEA). The campaign was performed at Amager Bakke, ARC, Copenhagen, Denmark.
