Co-Production of Fuels as an Option for Demkolec. A Preliminary Review ofOpportunities for the Co-Production of Liquid or Gaseous Energy Carriers

摘要

This study comprises a preliminary review of the opportunities for the co-production of liquid or gaseous energy carriers at the 253 MWe coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant of Demkotec in Buggenum, the Netherlands. Demkolec is actively pursuing various options to optimize the economics of the plant to become a strong competitor on the libralized power market. In this respect, it has initiated already a substitution of approximately 50% of the coal consumption of this plant by cheaper alternative fuels. Part of this alternative fuel input will provide an extra product income, because this part comprises organic material that is regarded 'green'. In addition, Demkolec has recognized that fuels co-production may be an opportunity to further improve the economics of the plant.
