Abstract

A method for liquefying a CO2-rich gas flow containing at least 90 mol % of CO2 involves the following steps: compressing the CO2-rich gas flow, liquefying and separating in order to produce a first liquid flow at a first pressure MP and a first temperature T1. Extracting part of the first liquid flow at the first pressure and the first temperature by way of first product, supercooling part of the first liquid flow down to a temperature below the first temperature by indirect exchange of heat in a heat exchanger, expanding the liquid supercooled down to the second temperature T2 until it reaches a second pressure lower than the first pressure, the second pressure being equal to or greater than the equilibrium pressure of the expanded liquid, and extracting part of the expanded liquid by way of second product and evaporating another part of the liquid in the heat exchanger by exchange of heat with the part of the first flow in order to produce a vaporized liquid.
