Mountaineer - Validation pilot - USA WV - AEP

• Designed to capture & store 100,000 tCO2/year (flue gas from coal)

• Captured CO2 will be sequestered into two wells on the plant property

• Commenced engineering and permitting Oct07

• First CO2 captured in Sept 09, injection started 1st of October 2009

• Alstom responsible for CAP island, AEP responsible for utilities to/from CAP island and CO2 storage

• AEP and Alstom working to develop commercial scale project (CSP) to capture 1.5 MTPY at Mountaineer facility

Chilled Ammonia Process:Validation pilot - Montaineer

Alstom’s Chilled Ammonia Process at AEP’s Mountaineer Plant


2nd Generation - Chemical Looping ProcessTechnology Overview

A Promising Break-through Technology

Principle

• Solid oxygen carrier circulates between Air Reactor and Fuel Reactor: Carrier picks up O2 in the Air Reactor, leaves N2 behind and burns the fuel in the Fuel Reactor

• Typically, Oxygen Carriers can be metal oxide or limestone-based. Alstom is developing both types

Advantages

• Avoids large costs and parasitic power

• Captures CO2 at temperatures higher than the power cycle temperatures, eliminating thermodynamic penalty associated with CO2

capture

• Uses conventional material of construction and fabrication techniques

• Largely based on Alstom’s proven CFB technology

Agenda



• CCS-Ready


• Conclusion


CCS-ready

Queensland

• Scope: All coal-fired power plants

• Requirements:

− Use of world’s best practice low emission technologies − CCS-ready and− Commitment to retrofit that technology within five years of CCS being proven

on a commercial scaleNSW & WA

• Scope: Recommendation for all coal-fired power plants

• Implement CCS if it is economically and technically feasible

Australia

European Union• Scope: All combustion plants >300 Mwe (coal and gas)

• Requirements:

− Assessment of availability of suitable storage sites and technical and economical feasibility of CO2 capture and transport

− Suitable space for future CO2 capture system if conditions are met

• The UK has transposed the directive and requires CCS-Readiness

World Bank• Financing coal projects facing

polemic/debates due to CO2

• Looking at CCS readiness

A mounting requirement…

Wiesbaden acquisition

Alstom European execution center for CCS


CCS business rationale

A dedicated business unit

• CCS moving to another stage:

- From small pilots large demos;

- From technology validation

industrialization & plant

integration

• Requires solid engineering &

execution set-up

• Qualitative gap in resources (e.g.

chemical process engineering) needed to

be addressed

• Focus of resources on CCS projects, for

successful execution (incubator model)

Agenda



• CCS-Ready


• Conclusion


Conclusions

• A portfolio approach of technology is needed: Renewables, Nuclear, Efficiency and CCS.

• Retrofitable CCS technologies are a must to have: Post and Oxy-combustion

• Alstom is currently developing CO2 capture technologies and is on the good path to go commercial by 2015. A dedicated business unit has been created to support this effort.

• CCS-Ready: Alstom has both expertise and partnership to support on the entire CCS chain

• Clear a stable business framework and regulations are needed for CCS to play its role along all other forms of decarbonised energy sources.

Alstom will be a key partner on the CCS value chain
