Abstract |
This spreadsheet model was produced in 2009 as part of the CCS Capture Benchmarking Study, and provides a techno-economic analysis of the performance of four state-of-the-art power generation/CO2 capture designs (coal with post-combustion capture, coal with gasification/pre-combustion capture, coal with oxy-firing and combined cycle gas turbine with post-combustion capture). The spreadsheet enables ‘what if’ calculations of costs for designs with 85%, 90% and 95% capture rates. Outputs include capital costs, operating costs, cost of capture and levelised cost of electricity (LCOE). The spreadsheet concentrates on power generation, capture and compression, but allows manual input of transport and storage costs to provide overall figures. The model is partly superseded by work undertaken and reported in the Benchmark Refresh project. |
