CO 2 Capture Study
For 800 MW Power Plant – Tjeldbergodden
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
Statoil ASA are proposing to build an 800 MW combined cycle power plant as part
of the overall expansion of their methanol plant facilities at Tjeldbergodden. The
plant will comprise two gas turbines, two HRSGs and a single steam turbine. As
part of the Power Plant Statoil are considering using Fluor’s Economine FG +
CO 2 capture licensed technology for emission control.
1.2 Executive Summary
Fluor have developed and licensed a CO 2 capture technology to be used for
capture of acid gases in an oxidising environment where normal amines are
rapidly degraded, such as are found in the exhaust gases of a combined cycle
power plant.
Statoil ASA engaged Fluor to undertake selective studies leading to the
development of a capital cost estimate for the process facilities comprising the
CO 2 capture plant, to be incorporated on an adjacent plot to the proposed power
plant facilities at Tjeldbergodden.
This report, which presents the non-confidential aspects of this study, outlines the
studies undertaken to define the design basis for the CO 2 Plant, establishes the
interface considerations, and assess the issues that may influence the design
requirements of the power plant. The study draws conclusions that support the
completion of the capital cost estimate for this plant.
In summary, the report concludes that a CO 2 capture plant can be built as an
integral addition to the power plant for an indicated total installed cost of $500.MM
