Development of Carbon DioxideCapture Technologiesincoa fired power plantsRowerresearcillnsAbstract: With a particular reference to China Huaneng Group's practices in CO, capture, this article presentsa briefing on the current development of CO, capture technologies in coal-fired power plants both in China andabroad. Sooner or later. the integration ofCO, capture and storage (CCS) facility with coal-fired power plantwill be ineitably put on the agenda of developerKeywords: coal-fired power plant. emission control: carbon diaxide capture2007, CO, emissions from China's coal-fired power plantsIntroductionexceeded 2 700 million tons. The power sector is destinedto play a central role in CO, emission reduction since it isWhile fossil fuels underpin social and economic currently a major source of CO, emission, coupled withactivities of the world, they are blamed for global the fact that it produces a concentrated stream of cowarming for the fact that their consumption is building up suitable for capturecarbon dioxide, a kind of greenhouse gas(GHG)in thethe Intergovernmental Improving heat conversion efficiency and therebyPanel on Climate Change(IPCC)under the United Nations, cutting coal consumption is a practical approach forto maintain a safe temperature rise within 2 C, the co, power plants to reduce CO, emissions in the near termconcentration in the air must be controlled within 455 ppm. Highcr efficiency helps to rcducc unit consumption ofIn November 2009, China announced its firm commitment fuel in power generation and consequently decreaseto reduce its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP, or CO, emissions. In recent years, Chinas power sectorcarbon intensity, by 40 to 45 percent by 2020, as compared has cut coal consumption significantly by replacingwith the level of 2005small generating units with larger ones and installinghigh-capacity supercritical and even ultra-supercriticalThe largest sources of CO, emission in China are gener中国煤化工traffic vehicles and power plants that consume a majorityof the primary energy. For the power sector alone, itCNMH Ge energies like windaccounts for about half of the total co, emissions In power, solar power hydropower and biomass powerELECTRICITY 2010.4ECTRICITcan help reduce the dependence on power generation The resulting syngas from the Co shift reactionfrom fossil fuels and slow down the increase in Co, features high sulfur and co, content and high partialcmission. However, China's demand on encrgy has been pressure of CO, and H, S. As appropriate to the gasificationincreasing so sharply over an enormous basis that, in the process, physical absorption of Co, is preferable. Typicalnear term, the goal of new energy development is just to methods of Co, physical absorption are Selexol Methodmaintain the current share of coal power in the total power and Rectisol Method Both methods are based on lowconsumptiontemperature absorbing process. The Selexol Methodoperates at-10-15C and Rectisol Method at-75-0CRestricted by the total potential, enhancing efficicncy Either method can serve to remove CO, and H, S by onend developing new energies is hard to meet the Co, step with high degree of purification, and thus has nocontrol objective. With the huge demand of CO, control need for FGD unit. Nevertheless, the conversion processin the future, the most effective approach is to develop a equipment must be sulfur resistantcost-effective, energy-efficient capture technology andstore CO, deeply under the ground on a large scaleThe Selexol Method involves the use of solventdeveloped by America's Norton Corporation, and theCO, is the main GHG causing greenhouse effect. relevant commercial application data are still not madeMeanwhile, CO, itself is a valuable resource. The Co, publicly available. Since its capital cost and operatingcaptured can be used for carbonate drink, tobacco expense are high, it can be advantageous only in the casesswelling, arc welding, organic compound fabrication, fire of high CO, concentration and pressure as in IGCC PCDCstopping and cooling as well as enhanced oil recovery process(EOR)and enhanced coal-bed methane recovery(ECBM)The Rectisol Method has been in industrial applicationCO, capture in coal-fired power plants for many years in chemical sector. Its major disadvantagesare the use of sophisticated equipment system and highAccording to the combustion stage during which the methanol vapor pressure in the absorption proccss,separation happens, CO, capture technologies for coal- resulting in high loss of solvent. Most studies on CCS forfired power plants fall into three broad categories, i.e. IGCC are based on Selexol Methodpost-combustion capture, pre-combustion decarbonizationand oxy-fuel combustion. No matter which one is Besides the above, membrane separation techniqueaccepted, it has little or nothing to do with the selection is recognized as highly potential in reducing energyof CO, compression, transport or storage technologies. consumption and realizing compacted equipment arrangeSince the high capital cost and operation expenditure kills ment.

Drawbacks of the MEa method(PCC)is a kind of end-of-pipe solution that involves the include high energy consumption and severe MEAinstallation of a facility downstream the combustion unit oxidative degradation. Researches into renovated amine(boiler or gas turbine)to capture or strip CO, in the flue solvents are under way both in China and abroadgas. This roadmap is applicable to substantially all existing Meanwhile, R&D initiatives are ongoing globally tocoal-fired power plants and requires less modification to optimize the absorption/regeneration processes andthe existing power plant facilities.
