CO2 capture and H2 production (pre-combustion)R&D INVESTMENT PLAN. Lines
To demonstrate the feasibility of capture of CO2 and production of H2 in an IGCC that usessolid fossil fuels and wastes as main feedstock.
To obtain economic data enough to scale it to the full Puertollano IGCC capacity insynthetic gas production.
TARGETS
Project of pilot plant in an existing IGCC of Puertollano (pre-combustion technology)is part of a Spanish national initiative, “Advanced technologies of CO2 conversion, captureand storage” and it is coordinated with other related projects:
Project # 2 is to explore oxyfuel combustion to be applied in the construction of a pilotplant (20-30 MW) to be built in El Bierzo, NW of Spain. CIUDEN
Project # 3 is to study and regulate geological storage in Spain. IGME
Project # 4 is to study public awareness of CCS technologies. CIEMAT

The main learning in project phase:● The finance delay: MICINN (Spanish Science & Research Minister) and JCCM(Regional Government). Delay in main equipment supply: more than 12-14 months. Detailed engineering: conditioned by suppliers. PP construction step: delay due to safety permits since it is installed in an operatingplant. Delay of commissioning: low availability of experimented personnel.
The main learning in commissioning & operation phases:● Investment costs: € 13 million● Unexpected reactivity: 95% CO conversion in first step of shifting unit
Estimated: 85% consider a shifting process with only one step.● CO2 and H2 design specifications: easily achieved● CO2 capture rate: 91.7%● Auxiliary consumption: lower than estimated in design● Integration of O&M in the existing IGCC: very easy

PSE-CO2 project : CO2 Capture Pilot Plant
30
Pilot plant for CO2 capture and production of H2 and electricity with IGCC technology
Other activities: To be done after PSE as R&D platform: Water shift reaction catalyst optimization. Tests of
different catalyst
New processes to separate CO2-H2
CO2 different treatment processes
Improvement of integration efficiency between CO2separation processes and IGCC plant
ELCOGAS offers both the Puertollano IGCC and the Pilot Plant for CO2 capture and H2 production as
technical platforms to develop of process, equipments, components, or even pre-engineering of new plants
with CCS and Zero emissions
Pilot Plant beyond PSE project
