Techno-economic comparison of various process configurations for post-combustion carbon capture using a single-component water-lean solvent

•Developed property models for a novel water-lean solvent based on experimental data.•Designed and simulated seven process configurations for post-combustion carbon capture using the water-lean solvent.•Recommended optima operating conditions for the water-lean solvent.•Conducted techno-economic comparison between seven carbon capture configurations using a water-lean solvent at optimistic, baseline and conservative schemes.
