Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

This study will establish benchmarks for coal-based power-generating cycles producing multiple products with reduced atmospheric emissions of

greenhouse gases.  Innovative process technologies need this benchmark so they can be appreciated in their proper perspective.  The emphasis will be CO2-capture technologies combined with integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power systems that produce both merchant  hydrogen and electricity.  An oxygen-blown entrained gasifier will serve as the basis for the study.  Comparisons of energy penalties; capital investment; and CO2 emission reductions are based on the full-energy cycle including mining; coal transportation; coal preparation; gasification; gas treatment; power generation; infrastructure to transfer power or hydrogen to end users; and pipeline transport of CO2 to sequestration. Technical and economic aspects of H2 pipelines and supercritical CO2  pipelines; as well as issues relating to CO2  sequestering in a variety of host reservoirs will be considered so that process conditions and energy use are accounted for by the study.  The CO2-pipeline studies will take special interest in the question of the impact of multi-component mixtures on pipeline operating conditions.  This study will be conducted in coordination with broader program efforts to establish a full-energy inventory for advanced power systems.

[NOTE: Updated information not available beginning 2004]

06-Mar-01:
Accomplishment: CO2 Life-Cycle Analysis                                                                            
Description:  Selected a Site to Host the Hypothetical Plant for CO2 Life-Cycle Analysis.  ANL is studying a coal-based power-generating cycle that emphasizes CO2 capture from a Shell integrated oxygen-blown entrained-gasifier combined-cycle (IGCC) system producing hydrogen and electricity.  For ASPEN process simulation, a distance of 390 miles will be used from the Old Ben #11 mine in Coulterville, Illinois, and a coal-IGCC plant near Stevens Point, Wisconsin, would be the site hosting the hypothetical plant in this study.  (2/15/01)





14-Jan-03:
Accomplishment: FY02 Major Accomplishments                                                                          
Description: Benchmarked Process Design for integrated gasification combined cycle producing merchant hydrogen and electricity.  Using an ASPEN 11 process design code this project developed simulations of eight additional sections for entrained integrated gasification combined cycle needed to produce merchant hydrogen, combined cycle electricity, and supercritical carbon-dioxide.



Benchmarked Steam-Methane-Reforming.  Results from process design and economic simulation of steam-methane-reforming to test at what price the cost of methane makes coal-base hydrogen economical.  This material will be included in conference papers reporting on this project.



Modeled Carbon-dioxide reservoir.  Application of automatic differentiation to improve the performance and scope of geological reservoir models for sequestration.
