7 2nd Generation - Chemical Looping Process Technology Overview Principle Solid oxygen carrier circulates between Air Reactor and Fuel Reactor: Carrier picks up O 2 in the Air Reactor, leaves N 2 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 CO 2 at temperatures higher than the power cycle temperatures, eliminating thermodynamic penalty associated with CO 2 capture Uses conventional material of construction and fabrication techniques Largely based on Alstom s proven CFB technology A Promising Break-through Technology

26 Conclusions A portfolio approach is needed: Renewables, Nuclear, Efficiency and CCS. Retrofitable CCS technologies are a must to have: Post and Oxycombustion Alstom is currently developing CO 2 capture technologies and is on the good path to go commercial by 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
