• CO2 capture technologies are available and
applicable to SR hydrogen plants; experience of
removal from syngas is consolidated; fewer
references are present in the removal from flue
gas, but technology and interest is growing;
• from an economic point of view, with the
assumptions indicated in the previous paragraph,
the CO2 abatement cost from flue gas is
substantially higher than from raw H2 and in both
cases higher than the current carbon credit;
• investment costs for the two alternatives have an
approximation inherent in this kind of studies;
however macroeconomic variables like interest
