Carbon capture and storage (CCS) have been identified as one of the more promising carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission mitigation techniques in the short term. One of the major issues involved in the implementation of this technology is the high cost incurred in the capture process. When this high cost is coupled with the associated transportation and geological storage costs, the overall process is often deemed uneconomical. Any effort dedicated towards reducing carbon capture costs would then be particularly useful and critical in improving the overall economics. Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) has many unique factors that can potentially reduce this cost. Amongst these are pure CO 2 sources, the relatively cheap electricity costs and the close proximity of these CO 2 sources to geological sinks. During Ammonia production, CO 2 is a by-product and can occur in purities of over 90% by volume of output gases. Owing to this, the capture cost can be significantly reduced. This paper factors in this reduced capture cost together with potential returns from associated Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects to assess the economic feasibility for T&T. A sensitivity analysis was done to ascertain the minimum oil and carbon trading prices needed for economic feasibility. The results were then compared with actual present day prices and projected forecasts. This work can help guide future energy polices in T&T so that two major problems can be addressed in cohesion, the issue of depleting oil reserves and that of increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

“…1 The CO 2 capture project (CCP) is a joint project of eight major companies investing to reduce the cost of CO 2 capture and storage (www.co2captureproject.org). Phase 1 of this US $50M project, started in 2000, branches out to postcombustion capture, oxygen fired combustion, and precombustion decarbonization (i.e., gasification) research to facilitate new and efficient technologies for CO 2 capture and storage [4]. Companies collaborating on this project include BP (United Kingdom), Chevron Texaco (USA), ENI (Italy), Etop Esen (USA), Ricardo Branca (Brazil), Norsk Hydro ASA (Norway), EnCana, Shell (USA), and Statoil and Suncor Energy (Canada).…”

A significant proportion of power generation stems from coal-combustion processes and accordingly represents one of the largest point sources of CO 2 emissions worldwide. Coal power plants are major assets with large infrastructure and engineering units and an operating life span of up to 50 years. Hence, any process design modification to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may require significant investment. One of the best options to utilize existing infrastructure is to retrofit the power station fleet by adding a separation process to the flue gas, a practice known as postcombustion capture (PCC). This review examines the recent PCC development and provides a summary and assessment of the state of play in this area and its potential applicability to the power generation industry. The major players including the various institutes, government, and industry consortia are identified along with flue gas PCC demonstration scale plants. Of the PCC technologies reviewed, amine-based absorption is preeminent, being both the most mature and able to be adapted immediately, to the appropriate scale, for power station flue gas with minimal technical risk. Indeed, current commercial applications serve niches in the merchant CO 2 market, while a substantial number of smaller scale test facilities are reported in the literature with actual CO 2 capture motivated demonstrations now commencing. Hybrid membrane/absorption systems, also known as membrane contactors, offer the potential for the lowest energy requirements, possibly 10% of current direct scrubbers but are at an early stage of development.Other methods being actively pursued as R&D projects include solid absorbents, solid adsorbents, gas membrane separators, and cryogenic separation. The variety and different maturities of these competing technologies make technical comparison largely subjective, but useful insights could be gained through the development and application of econometric techniques such as 'real options' within this context. Despite these limitations, it is clear from this review that amine scrubbing is likely to be adapted first into the existing power station fleet, while less mature technologies will grow and become integrated with the development of future power stations.

“…While it would be technically feasible to combine a number of sources and route all the flue gases to one CO 2 capture plant, this would require several kilometers of ducting (i.e., for transport) and additional blower duties (i.e., to overcome pressure drops) (Simmonds et al, 2003).…”

-Currently the oil refining sector is responsible for approximately 5% of the total Brazilian energy related CO 2 emissions. Possibilities to reduce CO 2 emissions and related costs at the largest Brazilian refinery have been estimated. The abatement costs related to energy saving options are negative, meaning that feasibility exists without specific income due to emission reductions. The assessment shows that short-term mitigation options, i.e., fuel substitution and energy efficiency measures, could reduce CO 2 emissions by 6% of the total current refinery emissions. It is further shown that carbon capture and storage offers the greatest potential for more significant emission reductions in the longer term (up to 43%), but costs in the range of 64 to162 US$/t CO 2 , depending on the CO 2 emission source (regenerators of FCC units or hydrogen production units) and the CO 2 capture technology considered (oxyfuel combustion or post-combustion). Effects of uncertainties in key parameters on abatement costs are also evaluated via sensitivity analysis.
