“…To mitigate the associated climate risks, Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies are gaining more and more interest. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Among the different capture technologies, post-combustion techniques do not require onerous changes to existing plants and thus can be more readily deployed. However, post-combustion CO 2 capture may result in significant loss of energy efficiency and considerable increase in operating costs.…”

Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFCs) are commercially employed in MW-scale power production, and recently are being developed also for carbon capture. Past experiments showed that MCFC performance with wet cathode feeding was higher than with dry cathode feeds at otherwise similar conditions. This was ascribed to a mechanism that predicted the water increasing the apparent CO 2 diffusion rate. However, recent tests performed at low CO 2 cathode feed concentrations, as in carbon capture service, showed the emergence of a different water effect. Namely, there seems to be an electrochemical reaction path attributable to water, involving hydroxide ions that runs parallel with the main path involving CO 2 . This results in lower CO 2 transfer from the cathode to the anode than what can be calculated from the electrical current. For the first time, here, a theoretical analysis will be presented to introduce a kinetic expression for MCFCs working under this dual-ion regime. Focus will be given to the expression of CO 2 and water polarization to assess the ratio between the current due to the two anions. Simulation and experimental results will be discussed providing a reliable and effective basis for the performance optimization of the MCFCs both in power and in carbon capture applications.

“…Most urgently, it appears that the current price structure of CCS makes it too expensive, and informants argue that commercial actors (e.g., in the process industry) have few, if any, incentives to implement it. There is currently no market for capturing and storing CO 2 , and, of crucial importance to the future of CCS, it is reasonable to claim that technological development and market formation are key to achieving widespread implementation (Størset et al 2019).…”

Expanding Analyses of Path Creation: Interconnections between Territory and Technology

et al. 2020

Theoretically and conceptually, evolutionary economic geography has paid little attention to technological characteristics when explaining the emergence of new industries. Building on the literature on technological innovation systems, the article develops a framework for investigating interconnections between territorial dynamics and technological characteristics in path creation processes. The theoretical argument is operationalized in an analytical framework that is applied in empirical investigation of two green technologies and their linkages to the region of southwestern Norway, namely, carbon capture and storage and maritime battery technology. As illustrated by the empirical investigation, territorial dynamics or technological characteristics alone do not explain path creation. Rather, interconnections between the two and how interconnections play out in time and space are considered focal.

“…Such measures were supplemented by necessary policies and regulations which can promote the diffusion of modern coal-fired power generation technology and the natural elimination of the backward generation units. For ultra-supercritical coal-fired power units with high generation efficiency, utilizing the CCUS equipment was the preferred option to achieve the target of emission reduction, the diffusion of which was hindered by the cost factors [23]. The carbon costs saved by this device cannot cover its high R&D and operation costs.…”

To avoid the energy supply risk caused by the large-scale integration of renewable power with the grid, coal power plants with carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) have the potential to play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon electricity system. Based on evolutionary game theory, this study analyzed the equilibrium states, evolutionary trajectory and the corresponding critical conditions between the government and the coal power enterprises in this process. Subsequently, a numerical analysis was conducted. The results showed that the carbon trading scheme can directly promote the upgrade of coal power and this effect can be enhanced by establishing the market-oriented trading mechanism of electricity. The slack quota policy at the current stage can contribute to the emergence of the forerunners adopting the CCUS. The technical level of the CCUS had the most significant influence on the equilibrium of the game system. As technology advances, the game system can rapidly achieve the ideal stable strategy (of non-intervention, low-carbon upgrade). On this basis, the government should promote the synergetic development of the carbon market and power market. Additionally, more financial subsidies should be shifted to R&D (research and development) investment.
