Implementation Issues

Technology Issues
–
waterwall craking
–
negative flow characteristic
–
slagging

Availability of skilled operating staff

Coal quality and boiler performance

Environmental benefits

Socio-economic benefits
g
Incentives
 Carbon related revenue can make a substantial
difference to the economics of supercritical plants and
most notably to the economics of advanced
supercritical units
 Key issue is carbon price risk after 2012.

Post Combustion Capture-Ready
Essential Measures – focussed on Plant Site
Essential measures, focussed on the plant site, include:

Land area and layout able to accommodate: – the capture equipment, new
pipelines, expanded utilities and additional generation units

Provisions for new pipework in the Water-Steam-Condensate cycle –
allowing for heat integration

Design of the steam cycle to be compatible with the likely steam extraction
requirements of the capture unit
– inclusion of off-take tee at IP/LP crossover pipe, with target

crossover pressure of e.g. 3-4 bar(a) for amines
Allow space for addition/upgrade of FGD, to meet flue gas purity
requirements, as applicable, of CO2 capture

Route to CO2 storage that is economically competitive on a global stage
(€/tCO2 basis)
g
Post Combustion Capture-Ready
Optional Measures – Up to CO2 Storage

Optional measures – first tier
– Identification of potential sequestration sites and preliminary geological
investigations to screen these.
– Pipeline route determined, where CO2 exported by pipeline rather than
ship.
– Installation of FGD that can readily be upgraded to meet flue gas purity
required

Optional measures – second tier
– Sequestration site test wells, integrity studies, access rights and permitting
– Pipeline route land ownership, way leaves and permitting of CO2
transportation
– Increase on-site utility capacity – including compressed air, cooling water
treatment and electrical distribution.
– Pre-investment in up-rated base plant e.g. FGD, ID fans
g
Capture-Ready Plant
Key Issues

Capital cost impact within power plant relatively low

Need for consideration of CCS in national-level generation planning & site
selection

Need for review of planning and regulatory barriers for CO2 transport and
storage chain?
– Potentially on critical path to retrofit

Possible need for outside support with capture-ready design to mitigate
risk of delays to design process, while still ensuring that barriers to CCS
are removed

Mott MacDonald’s current studies of advanced supercritical plant and
capture-ready plant will provide analysis tailored to India – for the UMPPs
