7. © IEA Clean Coal Centrewww.iea-coal.org.uk Technologies - PCC-ZETs … (1) CO 2 capture - flue gas chemical scrubbing: Based on methods established on reducing gases using amines Experience on flue gas flows up to equivalent of 50 MWe Flue gas introduces issues like corrosion, solvent degradation Energy consumption high but being reduced (new solvents and integration improvements) Around a ~9% points efficiency penalty looks achievable Other work: inorganic absorbents; membrane contactors; physical separation Will need to consider how to integrate with SOx, NOx, particulates controls and possibly mercury removal

12. © IEA Clean Coal Centrewww.iea-coal.org.uk IGCC - ZETs CO 2 capture – pre-combustion: For CO 2 capture, syngas would be shifted to CO 2 plus additional H 2, CO 2 separated and the H 2 burnt in the gas turbine CO 2 in relatively high concentration, capture with lower efficiency penalty compared with PCC plant Experience of E-class GTs on 95% H2. F-turbines under development Syngas shift requires steam - quench gasifier simplifies and reduces cost Integrating enhanced abatement of conventional emissions: SO 2 - already very low levels. Capture of CO 2 can be integrated NOx - SCR or future ultra low-NOx combustion systems Co-disposal with CO 2 could lower costs Particulates emissions already virtually nil Mercury emissions depend on the gasifier

15. © IEA Clean Coal Centrewww.iea-coal.org.uk Why we need both technologies! Uncertainty in R & D – not sure of outcomes and associated costs for ultra-supercritical PCC and IGCC IGCC looks more suitable when CO2 Capture is involved but it is currently higher risk and will take 15-20+ years to see market penetration Construction policy in China and India favours PCC – where most “new build” will occur

Directorate General for Research - P Dechamps – Nov 2004 - 21 CO2 C+S R&D Policy  A Priority in Long Term Energy R&D in FP6 (2002-2006)  Capture and sequestration of CO 2, associated with cleaner fossil fuel plants. Targets: reduce the cost of CO 2 capture from 50-60 € to 20-30 € per tonne of CO 2 captured, whilst aiming at achieving capture rates above 90%, and assess the reliability and long term stability of sequestration.

22. Directorate General for Research - P Dechamps – Nov 2004 - 22 Components of FP7?  Continued focus on Carbon Capture and Storage  Re-introduction of Clean Coal Technology in recognition of the drive for greater efficiency whilst CCS is developed and deployed  Technology Platform to advise on strategy and direction of these two elements

23. © IEA Clean Coal Centrewww.iea-coal.org.uk Conclusions ZETs needed to maintain power security Targets are suggested for emissions of conventional pollutants and mercury as well as for CO 2 for ZETs As platforms for ZETs, supercritical PCC and IGCC most likely to dominate future markets Incentives needed for conventional IGCC demonstrations also as a foundation for IGCC-ZETs Concentrate on increased efficiency and lower emissions of conventional pollutants whilst developing and deploying CCS technologies Does Poland and other Central European states need to become more engaged in the drive towards ZETs?
