In order to achieve the ambitious targets specified by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2011 and reduce GHG emission in the EU by 2020 at least 20% below those in 1990 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have to be reduced significantly. Fossil-fired power plants are identified as major targets for carbon capture processes, since they are responsible for 40 % of the total global CO2 emissions (Mondal et al., 2012). Efficient post-combustion capture of CO2is one of the most promising options to face this crucial challenge and to achieve at least the specified short-term targets (Rochelle, 2009).
