Abstract
In this paper, CO2 control technologies like decarbonisation either of the flue gas or of the fuel as well as the use of oxyfuels in near zero emission cycles are investigated. The penalties on performance and costs of fossil fuels fired power plants are given for the CO2 chemical absorption from flue gas using amines. The overcost of the generated kWh is around 60%. Amongst other techniques, the chemical absorption is the most mature and the best suited to power plants. Decarbonisation of the fuel is much less penalising than chemical absorption (30% overcost of the kWh) and produces hydrogen. A new concept of near zero CO2 emission power plant is presented, the so-called MATIANT cycle, using an oxyfuel with total recycling of the flue gas. The cost of its kWh is 50% to 100% higher than that of a current Combined Cycle. As a conclusion, the social cost (generation + external costs) of the kWh in fossil fuels fired plants with capture and sequestration of CO2 is of the same order of magnitude as that of on shore windmills and the social cost of the kWh generated in a MATIANT cycle is comparable to that of a Combined Cycle with capture and storage of CO2 and in the range of social costs of windmills too.
