e ex s ng coa - ase p an s nc u es s convers o n an 2 cap ure.

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) has assessed the performance and costs of 

new power plants with and without CO2 capture. Studies were carried out for IEA GHG by the

following leading engineering contractors and process developers:

• Post combustion capture: Fluor, in collaboration with Mitsui Babcock and Alstom, and MHI [3].

• Pre-combustion capture (IGCC ): Foster Wheeler, with data from gasification and gas treating

vendors [4].

• Oxy-combustion: Mitsui Babcock, in collaboration with Air Products and Alstom [5].

IEA GHG's recent studies on new power plants do not include natural gas-based pre-combustion

capture but IEA GHG has carried out a study on retrofit of capture to existing natural gas combined

cycle plants [6]. That study showed pre-combustion capture to be significantly more expensive than

post-combustion capture. IEA GHG carried out a later study which put some of the results from the

earlier studies [3] , [4] and [5] on a consistent basis with updated fuel prices and currency exchange

rates [7]. This paper presents results from that later report [7] and also includes more of the cases

from the IGCC study [4] on the same updated basis.

2. Basis of plant assessments

The reference power plants without CO2 capture in this paper use high-efficiency commercially

demonstrated technologies. The CO2 capture units are based on current designs but it is recognisedthat CO2 capture has not yet been demonstrated in large commercial power plants. The efficiencies of 

all of the power-generation technologies considered in this study will improve in future due mainly to

development of more advanced gas and steam turbines. The performance and costs of CO2 capture

technologies are also expected to improve in future due to technology developments and ‘learning by

doing’. This is discussed further in Section 6.

The main criteria used in the assessments in this paper are summarised below and in the following

plant descriptions.

2.1. Technical criteria

Oxygen 9.0% dry-ash-free

Nitrogen 1.8% dry-ash-free

Sulphur 1.1% dry-ash-free

Chlorine 0.03% dry-as-free

LHV 25.87 MJ/kg as-received

Natural gas Southern Norwegian North Sea

Methane 83.9 vol%

Ethane 9.2 vol%

Propane 3.3 vol%

Butane+ 1.4 vol%

CO2 1.8 vol%

N2 0.4 vol%

Plant location Greenfield plant site, Netherlands coastal location with no special civil works

Ambient pressure 101.3 kPa

Average air temperature 9 °C

Average sea water temperature 12 °C

Cooling water system Once-through sea water cooling

CO2 output pressure 11 MPaMaximum emissions Particulates 25 mg/Nm3 (6% O2)

NO X  200 mg/Nm3 (6% O2)

SO2 200 mg/Nm3 (6% O2)

The pressure to which CO2 is compressed will depend on how it is transported and the nature of the

storage reservoir. The data in this paper include compression of CO2 to 11 MPa, at which pressure it

is a dense phase fluid with a density of about 0.75t/m3

at 35 °C. Because of its high density, the CO2

could if required be pumped to a higher pressure with very little impact on the plant performance and

cost.

2.2. Economic criteria

DCF rate 10% per year, excluding inflation

Plant operating life 25 years

Plant construction time 3 years

Expenditure schedule 20%/45%/35%

Load factor 85%

Coal price US$2.2/GJ (LHV basis), with sensitivity to $1.1/GJ 1

Natural gas price US$7.8/GJ (LHV basis), with sensitivity to $3.9/GJ

Contingencies: 10% of installed plant cost

Fees and owners cost 7% of installed plant cost (excludes interest during construction)

Interest during construction Calculated from the expenditure schedule and discount rate

Decommissioning cost Zero net cost (assumed to be equal to scrap value)

Working capital 30 days of raw materials and consumables, excluding natural gas

Start up costs 3 month commissioning period

Reduced load factor (60%) for remainder of year 1 for coal plants

Operating labour €50k/year (excludes maintenance labour), 5 shift operation

Maintenance costs 2–4% of installed cost per year, depending on type of process unit

Local taxation and insurance 2% of installed cost per year 

By-product/waste values Zero net values for sulphur, slag/ash and gypsum

Exchange rate 1.23 US$/€

The base case fuel prices are the average of Mott MacDonald's long-run forecast prices up to 2025 for 

the Netherlands coastal location [7]. The sensitivity to lower prices (half those of the base case) is

assessed because of the high uncertainty in prediction of long-term energy prices and because prices

vary between different locations.

The capital costs shown in Table 4 include miscellaneous owner's costs but exclude interest during

construction and start-up costs, although these are taken into account in the calculation of costs of 

electricity generation. Costs of electricity (380 kV) and CO2 (11 MPa) transmission beyond the plant

boundary are excluded. Coal is delivered to the plant boundary by conveyor and 30 days of outdoor storage is included on-site. The inlet and discharge ducts for the seawater cooling system are

included.

The capital costs in IEA GHG's original studies [3] , [4] and [5] were estimated using source data

denominated mainly in US$ and €. The $/€ exchange rate has varied between about 0.85 and 1.35:1

between 2001 and 2006, which introduces a degree of uncertainty into cost estimates. In IEA GHG's

latest study [7], costs for selected cases from the earlier studies [3] , [4] and [5] were updated using

the 2005 average exchange rate of 1.23$/€. For this paper further cases were updated using this

same exchange rate.

without CO2 emissions. The baseline plant should be type of plant that would be displaced by a plant

with CO2 capture. This could either be a plant based on the same type of power generation

technology as the plant with CO2 capture or an alternative type of plant. Table 2 shows the quantities

of emissions avoided for three baselines: the same type of power generation technology, a PF plant

and an NGCC plant. When compared to plants using the same type of power generation technology,the quantities of emissions avoided are lower than the quantities captured because of the reduction in

thermal efficiency, which results in greater production of CO2. In some circumstances plants with CO2

capture may displace old inefficient power plants, in which case the quantities of CO2 emissions

avoided would be significantly higher than those shown in Table 2.

is reported to reduce the cost per tonne of CO2 captured by 2% [3]. Further work is needed to

determine the effects of percentage CO2 capture on costs and efficiency for all technologies.

The plants do not all produce the same purity of CO2. Some technologies inherently produce

high-purity CO2 but others inherently produce lower purity CO2 which has to be refined if a higher 

purity is required. The relative merits of the technologies therefore depend on the CO2 purity

requirements.

5. Resource consumptions and emissions

The main resource consumptions, solid waste and by-product outputs and atmospheric emissions are

shown in Table 3. Natural gas-fired plants have the lowest resource consumptions and emissions.

Emissions to the atmosphere from plants without capture depend on environmental legislation and the

emissions shown in Table 3 do not represent the practical limits for each technology. For each type of fuel and power generation technology, CO2 capture results in increases in the fuel consumption and

outputs of wastes and by-products per unit of net electricity output, except for SO X emissions to the

atmosphere which are reduced.

Fig. 3.

Breakdown of costs of electricity.

The cost of electricity generation with CO2 capture is marginally higher for the natural gas combined

cycle plants with post combustion capture than for the coal-based IGCC and post-combustion plants.

The cost difference is greater between natural gas and coal based oxy-combustion plants. The natural

gas fired oxy-combustion plant has a cost of electricity that is about 25% higher than that of the natural

gas post-combustion capture plant. A 40% increase in the cost of the combined cycle unit (excluding

the oxygen plant and CO2 compression), per MW of gross output, contributes to the relatively high

cost of the natural gas fired oxy-combustion plant.

In Fig. 3 the costs of electricity generation are broken down into capital charges, operation andmaintenance (O+M) and fuel costs. It can be seen that the main cost for the gas-fired plants is fuel but

for the coal-fired plants, the capital charges are most significant.

The net outputs of the plants with and without capture [3] , [4] and [5] differ somewhat, as shown in

Table 4 because some items of equipment, e.g., gas turbines have fixed sizes. The only way to force

the plant outputs to be the same would be to operate some of them at non-optimum conditions, which

would not be realistic. The differences in plant size affect the economic comparisons, because plants

normally have economies in scale, i.e. the cost per unit output usually decreases with increasing plantsize. If all of the plants were converted to a hypothetical standard power out of 750 MWe using a scale

exponent of 0.8, the cost of electricity would decrease by 0.3 c/kWh for the oxyfuel plant, by 0.1 c/kWh

1These fuel prices are on an LHV basis, for consistency with the plant performance data. However, it

should be noted that fuel is often traded on an HHV basis. Bituminous coal prices on an LHV basis are

about 5% higher than on an HHV basis and natural gas prices are about 10% higher.

2This paper uses data for reference-pulverised coal and natural gas combined cycle plants from [3].

These data are similar to data from [5].
