abstract = {Esta tesis doctoral investiga la integración de tecnologías de captura, almacenamiento y utilización de Carbono (CCSU) en el sector energético de Uzbekistán, con un estudio de caso centrado en la planta de ciclo combinado de gas natural (NGCC) de Turakurgán. A través de un modelado detallado utilizando Aspen Plus® y Aspen Custom Modeler, se desarrolla una representación integral de los sistemas NGCC y CCSU para evaluar su rendimiento y viabilidad. El estudio examina inicialmente las fuentes de emisiones de CO2 y evalúa posibles sitios de almacenamiento y utilización mediante el análisis de capacidad, escala, demanda y distribución espacial. Además, la investigación evalúa soluciones CCSU de tipo "end-of-pipe" utilizando el método de absorción de MEA como referencia, seguido de un análisis comparativo con métodos de separación por membrana y tecnologías híbridas de absorción-membrana para identificar el enfoque más viable en el contexto económico y operativo de Uzbekistán. Al integrar perspectivas técnicas, económicas y de políticas, esta investigación proporciona información sobre la adopción de CCSU y explora vías alternativas para la reducción de carbono, contribuyendo a las aspiraciones de Uzbekistán de construir una economía circular de carbono y al esfuerzo global contra el cambio climático.},
abstract = {This doctoral thesis investigates the integration of Carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) technologies within Uzbekistan's power sector, with a focused case study of the Turakurgan Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power plant. Through detailed modeling using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Custom Modeler, a comprehensive representation of the NGCC and CCSU systems is developed to assess their performance and feasibility. The study initially examines CO2 emission sources and evaluates potential storage and utilization sites by analyzing capacity, scale, demand, and spatial distribution. Additionally, the research assesses end-of-pipe CCSU solutions using the benchmark MEA absorption method, followed by a comparative analysis with membrane separation and hybrid absorption-membrane technologies to identify the most viable approach within Uzbekistan's economic and operational context. By integrating technical, economic, and policy perspectives, this research provides insights into CCSU adoption and explores alternative carbon reduction pathways, contributing to Uzbekistan’s circular carbon economy ambitions and the broader global fight against climate change.},
