The Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF) is an engineering scale demonstration of advanced coal-fired power systems and high-temperature, high-pressure gas filtration systems that would be integral to an improved coal-fired power plant having efficiencies well over 40%, while exceeding all current emission standards for coal-fueled plants. The paper will describe such a plant before expanding the discussion on the operational experiences of the Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. (KBR) Transport Reactor and the Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation (SWPC) high-temperature gas filter system currently being demonstrated at the PSDF. A short survey of the process advantages (capital, operational, efficiency, and reliability) over current Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant designs, including hot gas clean-up, air-blown gasification, non-slagging gasifier operation and equipment commonality with existing pulverized coal power plants, will be highlighted; as will the potential of the power plant to be retrofitted in response to future carbon capture requirements.

This paper explores the impact of international emissions trading (IET) among Korea, China, and Japan, three countries that would form the largest potential carbon market in the world. The Nationally Determined Contribution for each country forms the basis of scenario analyses using GCAM (Global Change Assessment Model). As expected, China emerges as the sole net seller of emissions permits while Korea and Japan are the net purchasers of emission permits produced by China. All participants enjoy gains from emissions trading. The implementation of IET changes the power systems of Korea and Japan by favoring increased conventional fossil fuel usage over renewable power technologies or attached carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, while China’s power system moves in the opposite direction, by boosting the deployment of renewables and CCS-attached technologies. Considering the counterproductive incentives for Korea and Japan to consume more carbon-intensive energy sources, each country should consider such issues carefully before officially adopting IET as the pillar of climate policy.
