2nd Generation - Chemical Looping ProcessTechnology Overview
A Promising Break-through Technology
Principle• Solid oxygen carrier circulates between Air Reactor and Fuel Reactor: Carrier picks up O2 in the Air
Reactor, leaves N2 behind and burns the fuel in the Fuel Reactor
• Typically, Oxygen Carriers can be metal oxide or limestone-based. Alstom is developing both types
Advantages
• Avoids large costs and parasitic power of ASU
• Captures CO2 at temperatures higher than the power cycle temperatures, eliminating thermodynamic penalty associated with CO2
capture
• Uses conventional material of construction and fabrication techniques
• Largely based on Alstom’s proven CFB technology

sites and technical and economical feasibility of
CO2 capture and transport
− Suitable space for future CO2 capture system if
conditions are met
• The UK has transposed the directive and requires
CCS-Readiness
World Bank
• Financing coal projects facing
polemic/debates due to CO2
• Looking at CCS readiness

CCS business rationale
A dedicated business unit
• CCS moving to another stage:
- From small pilots large demos;
- From technology validation
industrialization & plant integration
• Requires solid engineering &
execution set-up
• Qualitative gap in resources (e.g.
chemical process engineering) needed to
be addressed
• Focus of resources on CCS projects, for
successful execution (incubator model)

Conclusions
• A portfolio approach is needed: Renewables, Nuclear, Efficiency and CCS.
• Retrofitable CCS technologies are a must to have: Post and Oxy-combustion
• Alstom is currently developing CO2 capture technologies and is on the good path to go commercial by 2015. A dedicated business unit has been created to support this effort.
• CCS-Ready: Alstom has both expertise and partnership to support on the entire CCS chain
• Clear a stable business framework and regulations are needed for CCS to play its role along all other forms of decarbonised energy sources.
Alstom will be a key partner on the CCS value chain
