| description | The study concerns promising coal-fired power plants that can gain an advantage over traditional options in the context of decarbonization. The calculations show that combined-cycle plants with integrated coal gasification and carbon dioxide recirculation may have better technical and economic characteristics compared to existing gasification processes (one- and two-stage). The recirculation of carbon dioxide improves the efficiency of the gasification process (the combustible gases yield and the fuel carbon conversion degree) and reduces the energy costs of the flue gas cleaning and carbon capture unit, thereby improving the economic performance of the plant. The estimates show that the decrease in the efficiency of electricity production associated with the removal of carbon dioxide is approximately 8% for the recirculation of combustion products and 15–16% for traditional processes, and the increase in the cost of electricity is 20–25% versus 35–40%, respectively. |
