Carbon Capture Technologies for Gas-Turbine-Based Power Plants

Carbon Capture Technologies for Gas-Turbine-Based Power Plants explores current progress in one of the most capable technologies for carbon capture in gas-fired power plants. It identifies key benefits and drawbacks of oxyfuel combustion capture compared to other capture techniques, reviews their thermodynamics and processes modelling, and explores the technoeconomic evaluation of these cycles in detail. The book examines more than 20 different oxy-turbine cycles, identifying the main parameters regarding their operation, technology readiness level and development. It also analyses the use of advanced natural gas (NG) combustion cycles from the perspective of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technoeconomic aspects. Major oxy-turbine cycles at the most advanced stages of development are assessed by way of Political, Environmental, Social, Technological, Legislative and Economic (PESTLE) risk analysis. They are then compared with a conventional combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants with and without post-combustion carbon capture as the base-case scenario. The book concludes with a road map for development of future gas turbine-based power plants with full carbon capture capabilities. Analyses more than 20 forms of oxyturbine cycle, identifying the main parameters regarding their operation, technology readiness level and development Supports practitioners, policymakers, and energy industry managers seeking pathways to convert coal-fired power plants to natural gas-fired plants with zero CO2 emission Provides technoeconomic analysis of oxyfuel combustion capture technology
