Abstract:

This document is a summary of the project titled 'With/without CO2 Capture Options'.

The aim of the project is to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of retrofitting UK coal-fired power plants with advanced supercritical boiler/turbine technology (ASC) and carbon dioxide capture. The specific objectives are:

To establish optimum retrofit solutions for a reference power plant typical of the majority of UK coal fleet (500MWe and larger).

To determine the relative benefits of alternative approaches to the possible staging of retrofits for the short-term or the long-term.

To review the applicability of the optimum retrofit solutions for a range of UK power plant sites and to indicate the variances arising due to site conditions.
