CO 2 capture overview Ruud van den Brink, Daan Jansen www.ecn.nl
CO 2 emissions are rising faster than in the most pessimistic scenario Source: PNAS, 22 May, 2007
Energy scenario: 65% lower CO 2 emission in 2050 in the EU [EJ] 90 80 70 60 50 40 Energy saving Much more renewable Nuclear remains stable 30 20 10 0 2000 2050 BaU CO 2 emission -65% More coal (with CCS!) Gas Oil/liquids Coal/solids Nuclear Hydro Solar Wind Biomass Geothermal

CO 2 capture, transport and storage
CO 2 capture options
Post-combustion CO 2 capture: Conventional technology Chemical CO 2 solvents: Amines Industrial practice - Yes, but at a much smaller scale Pros and Cons + Existing technology + Retrofit to existing power plant designs +/- Extra removal of NOx and SOx necessary Energy penalty due to solvent regeneration Loss of solvent
Post-combustion CO 2 capture Technology in development Novel solvents - Lower regeneration energy (TNO, Shell, Procede) Membrane contactors (TNO) Membrane permeation (KEMA)
Post-combustion CO 2 capture: Demonstrations and plans
Pre-combustion CO 2 capture: Conventional technology air separation Industrial hydrogen production - Chemical solvents - Physical solvents - Coal Gasification Industrial practice - Solvents: Yes - Coal gasification: only four IGCC plants Pros and Cons + Existing technology + Very low emissions Cooling of gas to capture CO 2 necessary Efficiency loss in water-gas-shift section CO 2 coal gasification gas cleaning water-gasshift CO 2 separation H 2 GTCC
Pre-combustion CO2 capture Technology in development Membrane reactors (ECN) - Integrated reforming and CO2 separation - Hydrogen-selective membranes Sorption-enhanced Water-Gas-Shift - CO2 sorbents New physical solvent processes (TNO)
Pre-combustion CO 2 capture: Demonstrations and plans NUON Magnum
Oxyfuel combustion CO 2 capture: Conventional technology Cryogenic air separation Industrial practice - Large scale experience Fischer- Tropsch plants Pros and Cons + Existing technology + Simple process scheme High energy input for air separation Combustion in pure oxygen is complicated air separation O 2 fuel combustion CO 2 H 2 O
Pre-combustion CO 2 capture Technology in development Oxygen-selective membranes (ECN, KEMA) Solid oxygen separation (Twente, TNO) Chemical looping combustion
Pre-combustion CO 2 capture: Demonstrations and plans Vattenfal: Schwarze Pumpe (D) 30 MW pilot plant

Conclusions For post-, pre-, and oxyfuel combustion CO 2 capture technology exists Technology is in development to reduced the efficiency penalty Costs are hard to compare and very difficult to estimate
Stellingen CO 2 afvangst zal vrijwel alleen bij kolen plaatsvinden
Stellingen Voor afvangst van CO 2 en grootschalige elektriciteitsproductie is kolenvergassing de enige optie voor nieuwbouw.
Stellingen De aandacht voor "schoon fossiel" staat in schril contrast tot het belang van deze techniek voor onze klimaatdoelstellingen (dit kan zowel politieke als media-aandacht zijn). Dit terwijl de publieke acceptatie essentieel is voor deze technologie.
Stellingen Er moet een onafhankelijk budget komen voor Schoon Fossiel onderzoek, in het belang van iedere belastingbetaler.
Stellingen De mogelijkheden voor toepassing van keramische membranen zijn verder ontwikkeld dan de produktietechnologie ervan.
