100 µm for carbon capture purposes only. A block flow
diagram for this plant (based on Gerdeman et al., 2007)
is shown in Figure 4, also showing the parts of the circuit
considered in this paper and what was considered out of
scope. It is assumed that this plant is located in a district
with ‘average’ emissions associated with power generation
and it is assumed it operates at 92% availability.
Table 4 lists ore characteristics used for this calculation.
These characteristics are based on the 80th percentile ore
properties for ultramafic ores listed in the public database
