Techno-Economic Evaluation Methodology and Preliminary Comparison of an Amine-Based and Advanced Solid Sorbent- Based CO2 Capture Process for NGCC Power Plants

摘要

The post combustion capture process using the traditional amine based solvent absorption process is a very mature technology that suffers from a high energy penalty being taken on the power plant and requires significant capital investment that causes us a high increase in the cost of electricity. An advanced solid-based adsorption is discussed in this work as well as a techno-economic evaluation methodology in order to compare the advantages of this novel process to the conventional process. Some indications of the expected technical and economic benefits of the process are also discussed.
