UKCCSC Theme A Review Adina Bosoaga 18th April 2007, Nottingham
Quick review/update of current activities • Identify key research topics to address the CCS • Possible opportunities • Industry partners • Future activities
Quick review/update of current activities • Reading University • Overall assessment of lifecycle costs and emissions of fossil fuel supply options - Completed • List of fossil fuel supply – defined • Methodology applied for PC, NGCC and IGCC-but still need to consider oxyfuel and biomass co-firing (if data is available) • Report on life cycle emissions from non-CCS and CCS technologies and comparison to renewable and nuclear– April 2007 • Aberdeen University • Cost Supply Curves for Capture and Transport, EOR + Storage: 1st paper submitted 2006, 2nd paper May 2007 • Assessment of impact of future energy supply scenarios • Modelling prospective production of oil and gas from UKCCSC to 2030 – paper submitted 2006 • Modelling prospective end of field lives and economic end of infrastructure in UKCCSC to 2030 – paper submitted 2006, further paper May 2007 • Transport options & cost modelling – paper submitted 2006
Quick review/update of current activities • Imperial College • High-level review of deployment options • High-level CO2 capture plant models, including identifying key operating features • Developed steam cycle model for coal-fired plant, initial focus on capture - ready • Developed generic capabilities in solvent-based CO2 capture system design • Modelling plant flexibility and real-time impacts • Cranfield University • Technology reviews – completed: • Coal gasification and IGCC, Co-gasification of coal with renewable fuels • Coal underground gasification technology • Pre-combustion capture technologies • Lime capture & chemical looping technologies • Nottingham University • Technology reviews – completed: • Gasification cycle data • Catalytic cracking of methane at low temperatures • Newcastle University • UK Source /Sink analysis • Technical review for pipeline and ship transport
Ongoing Activities • Assessment of impact of future energy supply scenarios • Model for predicting performance, economics and life cycle emissions of different technologies is almost ready to be used for scenario analysis • Impact of future scenarios of the lifecycle analysis of CCS and non-CCS schemes • Techno-economics of CCS in the UK and the impact of different scenarios on the feasibility of CCS • Technology reviews • Potential for biomass co-firing with CO2 capture; Use of H2 (from pre-com. capture); Post-com capture options; Oxyfuel with coal options; Liquid fuels with polygeneration and CCS from biomass and coal; CO2 injection and reprocessing plant. • Development of amine models using thermodynamics & kinetics • Apply steam cycle model to other issues • Develop integrated model of power plant with amine capture • Continue work on plant flexibility and real-time modelling of power plants with CO2 capture in electricity network • Develop, investigate and assess catalysts which allow photo catalytic reduction in supercritical CO2 • Policy and incentives for capture - Integration Sub-theme • Transport options and scenarios for the UK including economic analysis • Modelling economic incentives for CO2 capture transportation
Identify Key Research Topics • To address the CO2 capture & transport using current UKCCSC work in order to promote our side of technology and with industrial partners’ support to move on to new proposals in CCS area • Identify a number of possible proposals supported from research teams that align with the vision of the current/ future calls
Possible Opportunities • DTI ( Research councils are also supporting academic partners on recent DTI projects) • EPSRC • £2M through the EON/EPSRC partnership • possibly more for CCS through other EPSRC routes, especially for longer term research • £29m cut from its budget by the Government • FP7 • ECSC • ETI • £1 billion budget and a 10-year lifespan TSEC continuation funding?
Industry Partners • Identify possible industry partners we want to have involved to support our research • Doosan, Alstom, Siemens, RWE, EDF, SSE, Air Products, E.On, BP, Shell, Drax, Scottish Power, Linde, Coal Industry people, AMEC, Sectors which aren’t power generation…
Future Actions • UKCCSC Theme A Stakeholder Session • To be held in Cranfield • Possible dates: 13th or 20th June – to be confirmed • To report early results • Inform attendees about current UKCCSC plans/ progress • Encourage stakeholder engagement/ support for future work Possible joint papers Draft on each proposed topic agreed in Cranfield meeting as starting point for discussions to the stakeholder meeting
