TCM is a two source facility for testing and improving CO2 capture technology.

Knowledge gained will prepare the ground for CO2 capture initiatives to combat climate change.

TCM – Highlights

2006

2009

2012

2005 Government policy: No carbon based power generationin 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

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

• 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.

Future utilization of Amine plant

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.

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

• Invitation to vendors to use the available open slot/land, utilitiesand other infrastructure

• Open for acceptance until 01.07.2013
