CCS Next Generation Capture Technologies: Benchmarking and Performance Analysis - Benchmarking and Performance Analysis of Future CO₂ Capture Technologies ? Economic Model - - 2010

This spreadsheet model was produced in 2010 as part of the CCS Capture Benchmarking Study, and provides a techno-economic analysis of the performance of four state-of-the art power generation/CO₂ capture designs (coal with post-combustion capture, coal with gasification/pre-combustion capture, coal with oxy-firing and combined cycle gas turbine with post-combustion capture).The spreadsheet enables ‘what if’ calculations of costs for designs with 85%, 90% and 95% capture rates. Outputs include capital costs, operating costs, cost of capture and levelised cost of electricity (LCOE).The spreadsheet concentrates on power generation, capture and compression, but allows manual input of transport and storage costs to provide overall figures.The model is partly superseded by work undertaken and reported in the Benchmark Refresh project.
