CCS Options for Co-production of Electricity and Synthetic Fuels from indigenous Coal in an Indian Context   Presented at the International Conference on Advances in Energy Research, ICAER-07, Mumbai, India, 12-14 December 2007  Jens Hetland, PhD, Senior Scientist, SINTEF Energy Research, Norway [email_address] Co-author Rahul Anantharaman The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Source: BP Statistical Review of World  Energy 2006 Europe : EU holds 4% of the proven coal reserves, and has 18% of the world’s electric generating capacity.   EU expects that by 2020 2/3 of its total energy demand will be imported.  CO 2  emission: 3 853 Mtpa.  CO 2  per capita: 8.4 tpa.   Energy intensity: 208 toe/M€  (2003, ec 1995, Ref. EU DG-Tren Statistics).  Installed electric capacity: 652.9 GW   (2005) EU-27: 490,4 mill. citizens  (July 2007 est.)

CO 2  emission:  1 113 Mtpa from oil (27%), coal (67%), natural gas (6%).  CO 2  per capita: 1.0 tpa. Energy intensity: 159.4 toe/M€.   Installed electric capacity: 131.4 GW / roughly 94% conventional thermal (oil 33%, coal 53%, natural gas 8%), 1% nuclear, 5% hydropower  (2006)
Setting the scene:  Security of energy supply Oil situation of India – mainly to fuel the transport sector Fast  increasing energy demand  and rather  limited supply  capacity;  Shortage of liquid fuel , especially fuels for the transport sector;  Local and regional air pollution , mainly from coal burning;  Fast-increasing  greenhouse gas emissions .  Production Demand Import ~2 Mbbl per day, increasing 100 kbbl  per day year on year Source: EIA International Energy Annual 2004, Country Analysis Briefs, India, 2007 Oil demand growth comparison  2006-2009 India’s production and consumption of oil  1990-2006
Setting the scene:  Security of energy supply   World R/P ratio – recent trends, local variations  (2001-2006) Per definition “reserves” are sources that are know and deemed economically exploitable.

CO 2  formation from coal - relating to the state of technology Estimated annual CO 2  emission per GW e  installed (in Mtpa) versus plant efficiency (%) at given capture rate (CR).
Advanced clean coal –  carbon emission reduction while maintaining efficiency p crit  = 221.2 bar, t crit  = 374.15 o C Source: Efficiency in Electricity Generation, Eurelectric July 2003
CCS  technology options Hydrogen Chemicals Retrofit options Alternative power cycles Polygeneration Efficiency reduction: goal < 5%-points Cost of CO 2  avoided: goal < 20 €/t CO2
CO 2  CAPTURE SOLUTIONS   –  Coal gasification Pre Combustion Solution for New Plants: IGCC+Capture CO 2  capture techniques are proven economical in other industries High Capital and Operating Costs Limited operation flexibility, more fuel-dependent solutions  Plant retrofit generally not possible Land space ~ 1,5 x post-combustion plant for same MW yield Tampa Electric Company, Polk Power Station, 252 MW e , Mulberry, USA (FL) Hydrogen-fired gas turbines Courtesy ALSTOM Power
COACH - Overall objective To   prepare for large-scale polygeneration [1]  from coal with CO 2  capture and storage with special impact on China .     T opical areas: Coal gasification  facilitating  polygeneration schemes combined with carbon capture and storage . Improved power cycles   requiring a large-scale topping cycle based on gas turbines that operate on hydrogen-rich fuels (still to be developed for their intended purpose). Identification of reliable storage of CO 2  in China ,  via capture, pre-treatment, transport, and injection of CO 2  into geological structures with - optionally - enhanced oil/gas and coal-bed methane recovery stages (EOR/EGR/ECMB). Societal anchorage ,  including legal, regulatory, funding and economic aspects, and public issues.

Concluding remarks The  energy situation  in India is a matter of growing concern especially in terms of  security of energy supply , which may bring India into  advanced coal-gasification technology  to co-produce electricity and synthetic fuels    polygeneration.  Whereas the relative importance of greenhouse gas emissions is rather high in Europe,  India  is evenly  concerned because of severe impacts  of global warming.  In addition India is (probably) more concerned about  cost  and the continued use of  domestic coal reserves .  As the isolation of CO 2  constitutes an inherent feature  in polygeneration ,  capture is a logical step  to pursue.  CCS offers the  option  of extending the fossil era , and to justify the harnessing of carbonaceous fuels and indigenous coal as a  compatible option within a sustainable framework .
