Conclusions The analysis evaluates different scenarios in order to underline CTL potential benefits in Italian energy market. 1) System modeling This analysis indicates a powerful synergism among polygeneration CTL systems and CO2 capture systems. The introduction of CCS in polygeneration plant shows a modest decrease in efficiency 2) Economic results The CTL investment option results in good economic performance in the case of growing crude oil prices $98/bbl ROI base case 20% $107/bbl ROI CCS case 20%
Conclusions 3) Sensitivity analysis In the case ofco2 allowances > 25$/ton CCS option become the most competitive CCS mine mouth plant installation best solution from the economic point leads to reduction of CO2 transport cost and reduction of coal supply cost Polygeneration of power and liquid can improve flexibility Future work will expand technical and economic feasibility analysis by varying: - the specific ratio of polygeneration capabilities of the plant - plant size scaleup - CO2 capture
