The European CCS research laboratory infrastructure (ECCSEL) and its contribution to future geological CO2 storage in Europe

The mission of ECCSEL ERIC is to establish a world class, distributed, pan-European CCS Research Laboratory Infrastructure to enable the removal of research barriers and facilitate wide scale deployment of CO2 capture, transport and geological storage in Europe. We present the rationale and development of ECCSEL ERIC, and consider ECCSEL in...

Waterstof uit elektrolyse voor maatschappelijk verantwoord netbeheer - Businessmodel en businesscase

Nederland werkt volop aan de verduurzaming van haar energiesysteem. In deze energietransitie is een grote rol weggelegd voor opwekking van elektriciteit uit duurzame bronnen als zon en wind, ter vervanging van fossiele bronnen. Netbeheerders spelen daarbij een belangrijke rol. Door slim gebruik te maken van de reeds aanwezige infrastructuur voor...

CO2 transport by ship: the way forward in Europe: 13th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies, GHGT 2016, 14-18 November 2016, Lausanne, Switzerland

This paper presents the results of a study into the functional requirements and optimisation of the CO2 shipping chain, with a focus on the offshore offloading system. The goal was to evaluate the feasibility of a generic approach to the development of ship-based CO2 transport and storage systems in the North Sea, using a range of typical North...

Empowering the Chemical Industry: Opportunities for electrification

Reducing the cost of post combustion capture technology for pulverized coal power plants by flexible operation

Currently the low carbon prices, low Spreads and regulatory uncertainties hampers the business cases for coal-fired power plants with post-combustion capture (PCC) in Europe. Improvement of the business case of coal-fired power plants with post combustion capture requires a different approach in terms of operational dispatch and in terms of...

Integration of a high-pressure piperazine capture plant with a power plant: an energetic evaluation

Post-combustion CO2 capture can have a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, it also requires a considerable amount of energy, causing a significant decrease in the net electricity output of the power plant it is associated with. A vast array of research initiatives is currently aimed at reducing this decrease. One...

Total chain dynamical assessment with an integrated model of a Post Combustion Capture Plant at a Pulverized Coal Plant and CO2 downstream infrastructure

The application of Post Combustion Capture has a significant advantage for mitigating the anthropogenic greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, in comparison to other capture technologies, since it is a so called “End of the Pipe” retrofit and therefore potentially applicable to existing power plants. With a fast changing power market and a...
