The paper presents an investigation on the conditions for implementing a methanation membrane decarbonator coupled to an energy installation that generates flue gases. The retention of the carbon dioxide content in the flue gases and its conversion to methane is envisaged. For start, low thermal power installations, employing natural gas as main fuel supply, are considered. Internal combustion engines (also working with natural gas fuel) are taken into account for the testing of the carbon dioxide retention process. For this, a classification of the flue gas composition by fuel categories is initially carried out. The decarbonation efficiency is defined and clarifications are made withal regarding the connection between the decarbonation installation and the energy plant. The first practical achievements are also presented, resulting from a decarbonator with a volume of 940 cm3 (having the inner diameter of 12 cm and a height of 50 cm). The results prove that the proposed solution has great potential for practical applications, further research being however necessary. In terms of operating costs (including hydrogen consumption), it is remarked that they can be reduced by exploiting the methane production and eliminating the carbon tax, extending the integration perspective form economic point of view.

This paper assesses performances and economic viability of CO2 removal by chemical absorption from the flue gases of natural gas-fired Combined Cycles, more specifically for two configurations: one where CO2 is removed ahead of the stack without modifying the power cycle; the other where part of the flue gases is recirculated to the gas turbine, thereby reducing the flow to be treated by chemical absorption. In both cases sequestered CO2 is made available at conditions suitable to storage into deep oceanic waters. Performances and cost of electricity are evaluated for systems based on large, heavy-duty turbines representative of state of the art “FA” technology. Carbon sequestration reduces net plant efficiency and power output by about 10% and increases the cost of electricity from 36 to about 50 mills/kWh. Flue gas recirculation warrants slightly higher efficiencies and lower costs. CO2 removal is eventually compared with other strategies for the reduction of CO2 emissions, like switching existing coal-fired steam plants to natural gas or replacing existing steam plants with conventional CCs. At current fuel prices the latter appears the option of choice, with a cost of about 25 $ per tonn of avoided CO2 emission.

Fossil fuel power plants account for about a third of global carbon dioxide emissions. Coal is the major power-generation fuel, being used twice as extensively as natural gas (IEA, 2003). Moreover, on a global scale, coal demand is expected to double over the period to 2030; IEA estimates that 4500 GWe of new installed power will be required. Coal is expected to provide 40% of this figure. It is thus obvious that coal power plants must be operative to provide such amount of energy in the short term, at the same time reducing their CO2 emissions in a feasible manner and increasing their efficiency and capacity. However, the main technologies currently considered to effect CO2 capture, both post-and pre-combustion, introduce a great economic penalty and largely reduce the capacity and efficiency. One of these technologies involves the separation of CO2 from high temperature flue gases using the reversible carbonation reaction of CaO and the calcination of CaCO3. The process is able to simultaneously capture sulfur dioxide. The major disadvantage of this well-known concept is the great amount of energy consumption in the calcinator and auxiliary equipment. This paper proposes a new, feasible approach to supply this energy which leads to an optimal integration of the process within a conventional coal power plant. Calcination is accomplished in a kiln fired by natural gas, whereas a gas turbine is used to supply all the auxiliary power. Flue gases from the kiln and the gas turbine can substitute a significant part of the heat duty of the steam cycle heaters, thus accomplishing feed water repowering of the steam turbine. This novel CO2-capture cycle is proposed to be integrated with aging coal-fired power plants. The paper shows that an optimal integration of both elements represents one of the best methods to simultaneously achieve: a) an increase of specific generating capacity in a very short period of time, b) a significant abatement of CO2 emissions, and c) an increase of plant efficiency in a cost-effective way.
