“…Thus, pressure build-up limits practical storage capacity in many cases (80,81), which has spurred development of pressure management concepts generally (82), and brine withdrawal plans at the Australian Gorgon sequestration project specifically (83). Regulations also recognize the novel aspects of sequestration, typically requiring thorough understanding of site-specific risks (84), which has driven much research into the potential impacts of CO 2 sequestration and risk assessment (85,86).…”

We review future global demand for electricity and major technologies positioned to supply it with minimal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: renewables (wind, solar, water, geothermal, and biomass), nuclear fission, and fossil power with CO2 capture and sequestration. We discuss two breakthrough technologies (space solar power and nuclear fusion) as exciting but uncertain additional options for low-net GHG emissions (i.e., low-carbon) electricity generation. In addition, we discuss grid integration technologies (monitoring and forecasting of transmission and distribution systems, demand-side load management, energy storage, and load balancing with low-carbon fuel substitutes). For each topic, recent historical trends and future prospects are reviewed, along with technical challenges, costs, and other issues as appropriate. Although no technology represents an ideal solution, their strengths can be enhanced by deployment in combination, along with grid integration that forms a critical set of enabling technologies to assure a reliable and robust future low-carbon electricity system.

“…The economics for transporting large volumes of CO 2 over long distance in the gaseous phase is quite unfavorable [13,14]. This is because such pure gas phase transportation will be restricted to operate below 30-50 bar at which the densities and capacities will be too small.…”

A Preliminary Assessment of the Initial Compression Power Requirement in CO2 Pipeline “Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies”

CO 2 captured from fossil-fueled power generation plants is said to be economically transported via pipelines over long distances. The CO 2 must be compressed to pipeline specifications using compressors and pumps that are driven by gas turbine (GT) or other prime movers. This paper presents the evaluation of actual work transfer or required prime power by modeling the governing equations of compression using the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS). A computer code was developed to carry out the modeling and subsequent simulation of the compression power requirement. The simulation of prime mover power was carried out for different technology (head per stage) of the compressor ranging from 10-staged compression to double stage compression. The results show that the current technology of the centrifugal compressor could require as much as 23MW of prime mover power to compress 1.5 million tonnes per year of CO 2 -a projected equivalent CO 2 released from a 530MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power generation plant.

“…The data for CCS is derived from IEAGHG (2008) and Black (2010). (Iijima et al, 2007;Koornneef et al, 2012). The levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) of 2006 by plant type in each grid are calculated with 9% of discount rate and are shown in Table 2.…”

Co-benefits of including CCS projects in the CDM in India's power sector

Abstract:This study examines the effects of the inclusion of the co-benefits on the potential installed capacity of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) projects with a linear programming model by the clean development mechanism (CDM) in India's power sector. It is investigated how different marginal damage costs of air pollutants affect the potential installed capacity of CCS projects in the CDM with a scenario analysis. Three results are found from this analysis. First, large quantity of IGCC with CCS becomes realizable when the certified emission reduction (CER) prices are above US$56/tCO 2 in the integrated Northern, Eastern, Western, and North-Eastern regional grids (NEWNE) and above US $49/tCO 2 in the Southern grid. Second, including co-benefits contributes to decrease CO 2 emissions and air pollutants with introduction of IGCC with CCS in the CDM at lower CER prices. Third, the effects of the co-benefits are limited in the case of CCS because CCS reduces larger amount of CO 2 emissions than that of air pollutants. Total marginal damage costs of air pollutants of US$250/t and US$200/t lead to CER prices of US$1/tCO 2 reduction in the NEWNE grid and the Southern grid.
