18 Total Installed Cost vs. Carbon Capture Page 18

19 General Synopsis Performance is marginally affected up to 50% with a steep decrease above 50% capture rates, primarily due to the chemical energy losses incurred during water-gas shift process + incremental aux. loads incurred due to CO 2 Compression & AGR Capital costs increase proportionally with CO 2 Capture Rates up to ~80% with a sharp increase above 80%. Comparison with 90% case, it appears to be past the point of diminishing returns Overall, plant emissions are lower as the CO 2 Capture increases Valuation of CO 2 credits will become increasingly important in planning CO 2 capture Technology for CO 2 Capture with IGCC is readily available today, the issues to be resolved are the CO 2 public policy and the costs associated with CCS Page 19
