2. PRESENTATION OF COMPANY: 
Describe briefly your company. Add link to webside, if relevant 
Co2laborate is a Danish CCUS startup developing an optimization platform for CO₂ capture projects. The platform integrates technical specifications, electricity prices, grid volatility and CO₂ markets to calculate optimal capture rates and deliver decision support to industrial operators. Co2laborate works with partners in cement, waste-to-energy and bioenergy and is in dialogue with three ongoing CO₂ capture projects. Learn more at:www.co2laborate.com 
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK UNDER MARKET EVALUATION: 
Present a detailed and precise description of the task you want a quote for.  

Co2laborate’s optimization platform advises industrial clients on economically optimal capture scenarios. To strengthen the platform’s technical foundation, we need a deeper understanding of the properties in solvent-based CO₂ capture – particularly regarding variable capture, response times, energy consumption and operating limits.

• Validation of variable capture: Is it technically feasible to increase and decrease the capture rate in solvent-based plants? What are the realistic minimum and maximum capture rates (turn-down ratio)?
• Response times and dynamic behaviour: How quickly can a solvent-based plant change capture rate (ramp-up/ramp-down times)? What delays and inertia effects must be accounted for?
• Energy consumption at varying operation: How does the specific energy consumption (reboiler duty, (MJ/kwh)/tonne CO₂) change when the capture rate varies? Is the relationship linear or non-linear?

• Waste heat availability: How does varying the capture rates % influence waste heat output?
• Fundamental process understanding: Absorber and stripper design, solvent properties (amine-based solvents), interaction between key parameters (temperatures, energy consumption, lean/rich loading)
• Consequences of dynamic operation: Impact on solvent degradation, emissions and plant lifetime from frequent variation in capture rate compared to steady-state operation

The purpose is purely competence building: to ensure that Co2laborate’s team acquires sufficient process engineering understanding to assess whether variable CO₂ capture is technically realistic, and under which conditions it makes sense.

 
4. TASK OBJECTIVES AND SUCCESS CRITERIA: 
Describe the goal of the task and how it can be measured/ensured that the task is solved to satisfaction. 

The objective is for Co2laborate’s team to acquire sufficient understanding of solvent-based CO₂ capture to assess whether variable capture is technically realistic in specific client projects. Success criteria:

• Co2laborate can define realistic technical parameters and operating limits for solvent-based capture plants (typical energy consumption, response times, ramp rates, turn-down ratios)
• Co2laborate can independently assess whether a given capture scenario with variable capture rate is realistic based on process constraints (solvent stability, emissions compliance, energy balance)
• Co2laborate has gained documented understanding of the relationship between capture rate, energy consumption, waste heat and operating costs under dynamic vs. steady-state operation
• The acquired competence is documented in an internal technical memo summarising the key learnings and parameters

 
5. BUDGET OG SPECIFICATION OF AN OFFER:
