TCM

is a two source facility for testing and improving

CO

capture technology

.

Knowledge gained will prepare the ground for

CO

capture

initiatives to combat climate change.

TCM – Highlights

2005 2006 2009 2012

Government policy: No carbon based power generation in Norway without CCS Norwegian Government and Statoil agreed 2-staged approach: 1: Demonstrate and develop capture technologies (TCM) 2: Build large scale (1 mTons CO2/year) capture plant Investment decision taken for TCM.

Partnership established (TCM DA) Official inauguration in May 2012 Five year initial test period started

1 Establish CCS as cost efficient climate solution with acceptable risk 2 Drive technology development through utilizing available infrastructure 3 Develope and position TCM in a global knowledge- and test network 4 Develop a business model for testing technology at TCM which is attractive to technology-developers and technology-vendors.

▪ ▪ Reduce costs (Cost/kWh) Mitigate risks when implementing full-scale CC- solutions ▪ Be an active part in shaping the CCS-technology landscape ▪ ▪ Ensure an acctive global network Exploit synergy with other players and institutions ▪ Offer a test facility that is attractive for technology suppliers and R&D institutions, this to secures high activity level and thereby contribute to the global CCS development

Testing activities at the Amine Plant

• Initial test period for 15 months with Aker Clean Carbon • • Focus on process performance, mainly energy efficiency - steam and electricity consumption -, solvent degradation and emissions monitoring.

• • Online instruments monitoring the plant performance and emissions.

Lab programme and third party measurement campaigns focusses on monitoring solvent performance, degradation and emissions to air and water.

Baseline study with MEA solvent to validate simulation model as well as providing a base case for future vendors.

Goal: Establish an energy efficient process and to mitigate risks when implementing a full-scale Carbon Capture Unit

Future utilization of Amine plant

• Good response to “Request for interest” (RFI) for use of the Amine plant.

• Short listed: Aker, Siemens, Hitachi, Mitsubishi • The Amine test unit will be available for one of the short listed beginning 2014.

•

Testing activities at the Chilled Ammonia Plant

Initial period of 13months (+ optional 6 months) based on test program developed by Alstom.

• • • Focus on process optimization, including: energy efficiency, ammonia consumption and low emissions, steady state and transient operations, impact of flue gas impurities.

The solvent composition do not produce degradation products and is based on a low cost and available solvent. The solvent (ammonia +water) is simple and the mixture with CO2 do not require other components/additives to avoid corrosion, foaming, degradation etc. From this, basically simple solution (O, C, N, H and traces of S), measurements of N and C allow the development of a reliable simulation model, based on the tests, for calculation of the heat and mass balances. To air ammonia is measured.
