4 IEA GHG Introduction IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) What is programme s relation to the International Energy Agency (IEA)? What the Programme does? Who are the members? What role do we play in a global CCS context? 4

5 International Energy Agency The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation which acts as energy policy advisor to 28 member countries in their effort to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens. Founded during the oil crisis of , the IEA s initial role was to co-ordinate measures in times of oil supply emergencies. 1 st Implementing Agreement under IEA is the IEA Clean Coal Centre 5

6 IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme Our Relation to the International Energy Agency IEA GHG is one of 40 organisations having an implementing agreement with IEA 6

7 IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme A collaborative research programme founded in 1991 as an IEA Implementing Agreement fully financed by its members Aim: Provide members with definitive information on the role that technology can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Scope: All greenhouse gases, all fossil fuels and comparative assessments of technology options. Focus: On CCS in recent years Producing information that is: Objective, trustworthy, independent Policy relevant but NOT policy prescriptive Reviewed by external Expert Reviewers Subject to review of policy implications by Members 7

8 Members and Sponsors 8

9 IEAGHG Activities Task 1: Evaluation of technology options Based on a standard methodology to allow direct comparisons and are peer reviewed Task 2: Facilitating implementation Provision i of evidence based information Task 3: Facilitating international cooperation Knowledge transfer from existing, laboratory, pilot and commercial scale CCS projects globally Task 4:To disseminate the results as widely as possible. 9

22 Challenges to Post Combustion CO2 Capture Low total flue gas pressure Low CO 2 concentrations Very high flow rates (Huge columns) High energy demand in the reboiler (25-35% of power plant output) Impurities cause solvent degradation, loss of performance and equipment corrosion Solvent losses and waste products Emissions from CO2 capture plant Picture: CASTOR pilot plant Esbjerg 22

41 Foaming: Effect of Gas Flow Rate Based on Monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent Foaminess coefficient (min): Average Lifetime of Foam Temp:40 C, CO 2 Loading: 0.4 mole CO 2 / mole amine Ref: B. Thitakamol et al. 2008, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 47(1),

Foaming: Different Alkanolamine Coeffic cient (m min)

47 Foaming: Different Alkanolamine Coeffic cient (m min) Avg g. Foam miness MEA solution are easier to have creaming process due to lower solution viscosity. CO2 stripped out during experiment (from 0.4 mol/mol to 0.2 mol/mol) thus increase foaminess MEA DEA MDEA AMP Alkanolamine AMP and DEA is due to high bulk density Ref: B. Thitakamol et al. 2008, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 47(1),
