Absorption processes with two different absorbents for removing 90 % of CO2 from the feed stream are regarded as benchmarks and compared to the membrane process with respect to potential energy, equipment, and cost reductions. The results show that a membrane unit using polyimide could assist with CO2 capture and lead to a reduction of the consumed energy per kilogram of CO2 by 40 % and also reduce the size of the absorption columns. Alternative processes with a two-step membrane cascade to enhance the recovery of product ethylene are also discussed.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1002/cite.201200242} (DOI).
