APG TFAPG TF

What is the APGTF?

• UK industry-led stakeholder group – PG sector:– power generators

– equipment manufacturers

– fuel suppliers

– technology providers (eg universities)

– CO2 storage sector (for CCS)

• Strong links with relevant trade associations

• Public sector and university representation

• Technology focus: long-term, proactive – RD&D

• Focus on fossil fuel ‘carbon abatement technologies’ (CATs) – generating efficiency, CCS, biomass co-firing

The UK CCS Competition

• Announced in 2007 Budget

• >300MWe post-combustion capture project on coal-fired power plant with CO2 stored offshore

• Operational by 2014 (latest view: “by 2015”)

• Focus on dissemination of knowledge

• Handled via competitive process

• 3 consortia: E.ON; Peel/DONG/RWE npower; Scottish Power - commercial negotiations ongoing

• 2 consortia to be selected for detailed design and development (FEED studies supported by Govt.)

• Decision was due mid-’09 (“some time in new year”)

APG TFAPG TFContender A: E.ON UK’s

Kingsnorth Project

• Existing 2GWe station to close by 2015

• Two new 800MWe units proposed (now from 2016)

• 300-400MWe demo of CO2

capture proposed on 1 unit

• MHI amine capture technology (?)

• ~2MtCO2/year

• CO2 storage in depleted gas fields in southern North Sea

• Kick-start Thames CCS Cluster

APG TFAPG TFContender B: Peel/DONG/

RWE npower Tilbury Project

• New 1.6GWe clean coal power plant (‘CO2 capture

ready’) proposed at Tilbury

• Peel Energy, DONG

Energy and RWE npower

pre-qualify

• 400MWe demo of CO2

capture proposed

• Amine capture technology

– not yet selected

• ~2MtCO2/year

• CO2 storage in depleted gas fields in southern North

Sea

APG TFAPG TFContender C: Scottish

Power’s Longannet

Project• Existing 2.3GWe station

• 300MWe demo of CO2 capture proposed

• Partners: Aker Clean Carbon, Aker Solutions, Shell and National Grid

• Aker Clean Carbon amine capture technology

• CO2 storage in depleted oil/gas field or saline aquifer under North Sea

• Beginning of Scottish CCS Cluster

• Mobile Test Unit on site -processing 1000m3/h of flue

APG TFAPG TF

The EEPR and the UK

• EC proposed €1.25Bn for 5 CCS demos (x1 each in Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Spain+Portugal, UK) as part of EU Recovery Plan – Jan ‘09

• Approved €1.05Bn (x1 in Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, UK, plus Italy & France) – Mar ’09

• Only 4 UK projects in UK considered eligible to compete (Kingsnorth, Tilbury, Longannet & Hatfield)

• Called for proposals – May ‘09

• Shortlisted 7 projects (inc Powerfuel’s Hatfield IGCC

Project in UK) – Oct ’09 (not finalised)

• Funds need to be committed by end of 2010

APG TFAPG TFEEPR Contender:

Powerfuel’s Hatfield

Project• 900MWe coal IGCC with

CCS

• 2 phases: CCGT (2013), then IGCC + CCS (2014/15)

• Coal from adjacent colliery

• Shell, GE, UOP and Air Products equipment

• ~4.5MtCO2/year

• CO2 storage in depleted gas fields in southern North Sea

• FEED study completed and s14/36 consents and local planning permission

APG TFAPG TFExample: Coastal

Energy’s Teesside

Project• Developed by Progressive

Energy with Centrica

• 850MWe coal IGCC with CCS on complete plant from start

• Equipment not yet selected

• ~5MtCO2/year

• CO2 storage in saline aquifer under North Sea (capacity ~5BtCO2

• EIAs and Pre-FEED studies completed for full CCS chain

• Could be operational by end of 2015 if FID by end

APG TFAPG TFOther UK Demo Activity (component/part-chain)

• Doosan Babcock Energy’s ‘OxyCoalTM 2’ Project– Demo of oxyfuel comb. system

– Full-scale oxy-burner (40MWth)

– UK Govt. support (DECC)

– Partners: Air Products, DONG Energy, EDF Energy, E.ON UK, S&S Energy, Vattenfall, Scottish Power, UK Coal

– FEED study for utility (100MWe)

• Scottish CCTS Development Study– Constrained aquifer storage demo

(Firth of Forth) proposed

– Characterisation of 2-3 saline aquifers as CO2 stores

– Public perception, skills, capacity

Summary

• Lots going on in the UK – a crucial time!

• Should be a >300MWe post-comb. capture demo on coal with offshore storage by ~2015 (UK Competition)

• Should be a 900MWe coal IGCC with pre-comb. decarbonisation on similar timescale (EEPR funding)

• Other potential full-chain demos – funding?– UK Government Consultation: “up to 4” CCS demos on coal

– Change of Government? Conservatives seeking 5GWe of CCS by 2020

– EC’s ‘NER300’ funding?

• Other key component demo or part-chain activity, including oxy-firing and constrained saline aquifers ongoing/proposed

• Hopefully addressing all 3 capture routes, pipeline transport and various storage options in next 5-8 years

• What about CCS on gas?
