Optimal timing for carbon capture retrofitting in biomass-coal combined heat and power plants in China

Assessing the Optimal Contributions of Renewables and Carbon Capture and Storage toward Carbon Neutrality by 2050

“…A carbon price above USD 40 per ton of CO 2 (tCO 2 ) was found to be conducive to wind power and coal fired power with CCS; however, for a wide-scale deployment of CCS, prices above USD 100/tCO 2 are required to achieve national carbon goals [14]. These findings are complemented by Zhou et al, who found that in order to stimulate CCS deployment for combined heat and power plants, different carbon prices engender differing CCS retrofitting timelines, i.e., the year 2033 for a carbon price of USD 14.5/tCO 2 , 2030 at USD 20.7, and as early as 2025 at prices above USD 23.4/tCO 2 [15]. These prices are much lower than European Union (EU) ETS prices.…”

Flexibility provision by combined heat and power plants – An evaluation of benefits from a plant and system perspective

“…However, on a global level, many CHP plants combust fossil fuels (e. g., in Germany [18], Denmark [19], the US [20] and China [21]), and to comply with decarbonization targets, CHP plans need to either switch to non-fossil fuels, install carbon capture systems [22] or be shut down. The main non-fossil fuel alternative for CHP plants is biomass, and biomass CHP plants may become more widespread in future energy systems.…”

Deploying bioenergy for decarbonizing Malaysian energy sectors and alleviating renewable energy poverty

“…The deployment of co-firing has generally been evaluated individually rather than interdependently with dedicated biomass technologies in previous assessments [15][16][17][18][19]. Since various biomass conversion technologies are available, a suitable pathway for the co-deployment of co-firing and dedicated biomass technologies needs to be determined from a large array of possible supply chain configurations.…”
