(2007). Capture-ready coal plants - options,technologies and economics. <strong>International</strong> Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 1, 113-120.doi:10.1016/S1750-5836(07)00033-3.CaptureSupercritical PC; IGCC baseline; IGCC with pre-investment (oversized air separation unit andgasifier)This document summarizes options used during the design and construction of PC and IGCC plants<strong>to</strong> reduce costs and energy losses associated with retrofitting for CO2 Capture. It also estimatesNPV costs of plants with differing pre investment under range of CO2 prices.A plant can be considered <strong>to</strong> be capture-ready if, at some point in the future it can be retrofitted forcarbon capture and sequestration and still be economical <strong>to</strong> operate.<strong>CCS</strong> <strong>Ready</strong> is needed <strong>to</strong> avoid CO2 lock in. <strong>CCS</strong> <strong>Ready</strong> may also be financially optimal dependingon future price of CO2.If carbon prices are high enough in the future, coal-fired power plants will be more economical <strong>to</strong>retrofit for <strong>CCS</strong> than <strong>to</strong> operate as-is. Furthermore, in the future it may be prohibitively costly <strong>to</strong>retrofit plants that are not designed <strong>to</strong> be “capture-ready,” resulting in either delayed reductions inCO2 emissions, or stranded generation assets. For the range of future carbon prices that would begenerated by policy options currently under consideration, significant pre-investment forCO2 captureand s<strong>to</strong>rage is not economically justified.Author, Year EPPSA.

Bruxelles, BE: Author.Capture.PC Steam Plant; Fluidised Bed Steam Plant; IGCC; CCGT.This document discusses some of the challenges linked <strong>to</strong> the issue of “capture readiness” as seenby the suppliers of capture ready technology, focusing on technical aspects rather than costs orfinancial impact. The document provides recommendations for CO2 capture ready plant designcriteria.In order <strong>to</strong> label a plant as being “capture ready,” a target abatement percentage of the producedCO2 must be defined beforehand. Furthermore, the key requirement of a capture-ready design is theprovision/availability of space for the CO2 capture equipment of the type or types that may be used.n/an/a23 February 2010 70
