The recently installed conventional fossil fuel generation plant capacity is large
The planned and in construction conventional fossil fuel generation plant capacity is even larger
There is a need for carbon capture retrofit options to be applicable to this type of generation plant
Post-combustion carbon capture technology has the capability to provide a retrofit option to this type of generation plant
Need For A Retrofit Option

Where the flue gases exiting a combustion plant are treated using chemical or physical sorbents to selectively remove CO2 from the gas mixture
The sorbents are then regenerated, using for example steam, to produce a concentrated CO2 stream

Post-combustion CO2 CaptureFirst Generation Technology – Chemical Absorption Process
11
The chemical absorption process using amine chemical solvent for separating CO2 from natural gas or flue gas was originally developed to be used by the gas processing industry or the food industry
Reaction Mechanism (CO2 and Amine)CO2 + 2RR’NH ⇔ RR’NH2+ + RR’NCOO -
CO2 + RR’NH + H2O ⇔ RR’NH2 + + HCO3-
CO2 + RR’NCOO- + 2H2O ⇔ RR’NH2 + + 2HCO3-
Upon heating the product, the bond between the absorbent and the CO2 can be broken, yielding a stream enriched in CO2 and a regenerated solvent ready to absorb more CO2
The heat for the regeneration of the solvent is normally provided by low pressure steam which can be drawn from the steam cycle of the power generation plant, but at an energy penalty (to power produced)
Post-combustion CaptureFirst Generation Technology – Chemical Absorption Process
12
The most commonly used solvent in the gas processing industry for scrubbing of CO2 is Monoethanol Amine (MEA)
MEA is a relatively low-cost solvent
MEA has a high energy penalty for solvent regeneration
MEA (without additives) has a high corrosion potential
MEA is used as the benchmark for comparison of solvents
A key performance measure for amine solvents is the regeneration energy requirement
MEA (primary amine; 30%wt aqueous solution) ~4 GJ/t CO2
State-of-the-art (proprietary amine solutions) ~2.5 GJ/t CO2

Can be retrofitted to existing Pulverized Coal (PF) plants and Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plants allowing the continued operation of valuable resources
Can be configured to treat only part of the flue gas stream
In either new build or retrofit application it enables the continued deployment of the well established PF and CCGT technologies familiar to power industries worldwide
The continued development of improved materials for Ultra Supercritical (USC) PF plants and Gas Turbines will increase the efficiency and reduce the CO2 emissions of future PF and CCGT plants
Post-combustion Capture Advantages – General
14
The widespread R&D on improved sorbents and capture equipment should reduce the energy penalty of PCC capture
Near-commercial-scale demonstration of 1st Gen PCC is proceeding
The 110 MW / 1 MTPA CO2 Boundary Dam large scale integrated project (LSIP) of Saskatchewan Power with PCC using the Shell Cansolv process commenced operation in 2014
Larger-scale demonstration of 1st Gen PCC is under construction
The 250 MW / 1.4 MTPA CO2 Petra Nova large scale integrated project (LSIP) of NRG Power with PCC using the MHI KS-1 process commences operation in 2016

Capital Cost Reduction
Absorber equipment is key part of capital cost reduction challenge; improved absorbers and absorber internals technology are required for significant capital cost reduction outcomes
Solvents and solvent degradation products can be corrosive; materials of construction selection needs to be carefully targeted for capital cost reduction (but not at the expense of unacceptably high maintenance costs)
Scale-up
Some amine processes are commercially available only at relatively small scale and considerable re-engineering and scale-up is needed
Scaling up demonstration; development should go toward 5000 TPD CO2 captured
Absorber equipment is key part of scale-up challenge
Operating Cost Reduction (Parasitic Energy and Solvent)
The addition of capture with current amine technologies results in a loss of net power output of about 20-30% and a reduction of about 7-11 percentage points in efficiency; in the case of retrofit this would imply the need for replacement power to make up for the power loss
Many sorbents need very pure flue gas to minimize sorbent usage and cost; typically < 10 ppmvor as low as 1 ppmv of SO2 plus NOx is required depending on the particular sorbent (not Shell Cansolv first-stage solvent for SO2)
PCC Challenges – 1 First Generation Technology – Chemical Absorption Process
20
Environmental
Water use is increased significantly with the addition of PCC particularly for water cooled plants where the water consumption with capture is nearly doubled per net MWh
For air cooling the water consumption is also increased with capture by about 35% per net MWh
Some solvents suffer degradation over time with management of solvent quality and plant operation important to appropriately control emissions of solvents and solvent degradation products in treated flue gas
Plant Operation and Maintenance
Steam extraction for solvent regeneration reduces flow to low-pressure turbine with significant operational impact on its efficiency and turn down capability
Solvents and solvent degradation products can be corrosive; materials of construction selection needs to be carefully targeted for maintenance cost optimisation (but not at the expense of unacceptably high capital costs)
Capture Plant Physical Footprint
Plot space requirements are significant; the back-end at existing plants is often already crowded by other emission control equipment
Extra costs may be required to accommodate PCC at some more remote location
PCC Challenges – 2First Generation Technology – Chemical Absorption Process
21
With the addition of currently available carbon capture technology, the Levelised Cost Of Electricity (LCOE) produced is impacted in the following way: For coal-fired electricity, LCOE increases by 140%*
For gas-fired electricity, LCOE increases by 60%*
A key focus for post-combustion carbon capture technology development is to reduce the impact on LCOE of adding carbon capture
This provides the opportunity to consider improved and alternative PCC – Next Generation technology
Challenge – Cost of ElectricityLessons from First Generation Technology – Chemical Absorption Process
* Basis – Australian Energy Technology Assessment 2012 – BREE; carbon price effect removed
22
Currently available PCC technology at large scale (first generation technology) is based on chemical solvent absorption processes
This technology requires further development to overcome challenges including reducing the impact on LCOE of adding carbon capture
There are a range of other technology options that have been identified as alternatives to currently available solvent absorption PCC technology
These technologies are at various stages of development, and can be categorised into different technology generations
PCC Technology GenerationsDefinitions Needed for Current (First) and Next Generation Technologies
23
Second Generation Technologies
Technology components currently in research and development that: Will be validated and ready for demonstration in the 2020-2025
timeframe
Result in a captured cost of CO2 less than $40/tonne in the 2020-2025 timeframe
Third Generation Technologies
“Transformational” technologies include technology components in early development (including conceptual stages) that: Offer the potential for significant improvements in technology cost and
performance
Will be ready for scale-up in the 2016-2030 timeframe
Will be ready for demonstration in the 2030-2035 timeframe

25
An issue with PCC technology is that there are such a range of technologies and technology variants that have potential application for PCC: As improvements to first generation technologies Directly as second and third generation technologies
With so many technology options that potentially could be applied to PCC, there is a risk of dilution of effort IEA GHG interim report 2014/TR4 mentions 16 technological
approaches to improving post-combustion capture Too many choices and not enough money to drive the right PCC
technology to required maturity
..and then there is the time needed to drive the right PCC technology to required development maturity

Technology demonstration in the 2030-2035 timeframe will require technology to have developed sufficient technical and commercial maturity
In order to control development risk, there is a maximum realistic scale up (typically one order of magnitude) between successive demonstrations
There will likely be insufficient time available to take a standalone immature technology to technical and commercial maturity in the 2030-2035 timeframe To achieve CRL-2 by 2030-2035 technology has to be at
least at a TRL-6 level now

Demonstration of technical and commercial readiness of PCC technologies in full chain (e.g. capture, transport and storage) is crucial to confirm maturity to stakeholders before wide-scale deployment can occur
Difficult to conceive of full-scale PCC projects able to be funded without inclusion of a sink for CO2 (saline storage or EOR); activities associated with CO2 sink often dominate overall schedule for project
Individual demonstration projects typically require approximately ten years from inception to operational proving, which includes approximately five elapsed years to undertake the works from FID to operation
Achieving PCC Technology MaturityTo Achieve Required Maturity, Need Large Scale Integrated Projects
31
To facilitate achievement of required PCC maturity, establishment of active Technology Demonstration Pathways (a coordinated succession of individual demonstration projects) could assist in the development process for PCC technologies to leverage their timely development Enhancements for first generation technologies need to have “fit” with one
or more first generation Technology Demonstration Pathways to have leverage for gaining funding and development opportunity
Second and third generation technologies either require their own Technology Demonstration Pathways or have “fit” with established first generation Technology Demonstration Pathways
Key challenges to allow achievement of technical and commercial maturity of cost-effective PCC technologies (using Technology Demonstration Pathways) are a combination of: Time to achieve scale up Significant capex reduction of the technology, and Parasitic load reduction (increased efficiency)

Retrofit options for the substantial fleet of recent and planned coal and gas fired generators are required PCC provides such an option
Current (first) generation PCC technology based on chemical (amine) absorption processes
Large-scale demonstration of 1st Gen PCC is in operation and under construction as integrated CC(U)S projects
A large number of different “next generation” PCC technologies are under some form of development With so many technology options (at least 16) that potentially could be applied to PCC,
there is a risk of dilution of effort
Technology Demonstration Pathways (a coordinated succession of individual demonstration projects) could assist in the development process for cost-effective PCC technologies to leverage their timely development
Key challenges to allow achievement of technical and commercial maturity of PCC technologies (using Technology Demonstration Pathways) are a combination of: Time to achieve scale up Significant capex reduction of the technology, and Parasitic load reduction (increased efficiency)
