One of the largest contributors to
carbon emissions is the generation of
electricity from coal.
Process Economics Program Report:
Advanced Carbon Capture
A great deal of attention has been given in recent years to the effects of carbon emissions on climate
change. SRI Consulting's (SRIC) techno-economic report Advanced Carbon Capture examines the
technology and economics of three processes for capturing 90% of the carbon emissions from
electric power generation using supercritical pulverized coal.
SRIC's Process Economics Program (PEP) report Advanced Carbon Capture examines in detail three
post combustion scrubbing technologies: conventional monoethanolamine (MEA), advanced amine,
and chilled ammonia. Analysis is conducted based on new plant construction at 550 MW net power
output. All three of these processes have technical and economic issues that must be overcome
before they can be implemented at scale. On a levelized cost basis with 90% CO capture and 2
compression, MEA scrubbing adds 4. 5¢/KWh, while the advanced amine and chilled ammonia
processes each add 4. 1¢/KWh to the cost of power generation. The Advanced Carbon Capture
report is essential information for technical and business managers involved in the generation of
electricity from coal.
