6 ALSTOM development for CCS on Coal and Gas CO 2 capture pursued by Alstom Post-combustion (New + retrofit) Oxy-combustion (New + retrofit) Chilled Ammonia Advanced Amines Integrated Oxy Systems Chemical Looping Alstom Post combustion technologies for GAS Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 6

7 Example for Post Capturing Technology Advanced Amine Process Overview Principle Flue gas contacted with an amine based solvent which reacts with the CO 2 Raising the temperatures reverses the above reaction releasing CO 2 and allowing the solvent to be recycled Advantages Proven in natural gas & syngas purification Carbon capture from flue gas is a new application with new challenges More efficient capture of CO 2 Higher tolerance against oxygen & trace contaminants Lower solvent degradation rates Advanced Amine Process can also be used for CCPP Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 7

8 Alstom CCPP CCS concept overview KA26 Capture Ready CCPP and CCS Retrofit today! KA26 CCS integrated CCPP Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 8

9 Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) Advantages 1. CO2 concentration in flue gas doubled. 2. Only c.a. 50% of the flue gas to be treated. Reduction of size of Capture Unit (CAPEX) Reduction of steam consumption (efficiency) Reduction of solvent consumption (OPEX) Similar CO2 concentration as coal => Faster experience transfer from Demos on Coal => faster development. Matches any post combustion system: Amines, Ammonia, FGR offers the possibility to reduce the CoE by 5% Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 9

10 Capture Ready as a First Step Alstom Developments Alstom has developed a "KA26 Capture Ready CCPP - Based on a concept for the KA26 with Carbon Capture using Advanced Amine Capture Technology - Steam for CCS plant is extracted from CCPP in an efficient way (cogeneration advantage) Requirements for future CCS operation are not yet clear - Alstom has made conservative assumptions Stand-alone CCS plant with own auxiliary systems Most stringent possible CO2 Capture Rate for natural gas of 90% Specific CO2 emissions from natural gas and coal for different capture rates % 70% 50% 0% Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 10 Capture Rate Natural Gas 90% 0% 70% 50% Specific CO2 emission [g/kwh] Capture Rate Coal Most stringent capture rate of 90% for natural gas assumed

Cost of electricity Percent 160 Percent PC with CCS CCGT with CCS 0 PC / PC w CCS CCGT / CCGT w CCS Cost of CO2 avoided strictly related to the carbon content of the fuel COE increase related to total quantity of CO2 abated advantage for CCS on gas GAS: Cost of CO2 higher but CoE impact lower Gas Turbine Power Plants with CO2 Capture 2 nd ICEPE June GLAgostinelli - P 13
