SUPERCRITICAL CO2 GT (ALLAM CYCLE) OF

NET POWER

NET Power‟s Allam Cycle technology combines oxy-fuel combustion with a

supercritical CO2 turbine to generate power. Oxygen, produced using an Air

Separation Unit (ASU), is combined with fuel and high pressure CO2 in a

combustor and sent through a CO2 turbine where power is produced. CO2 and

water exit the turbine and go into a heat exchanger where the water is

condensed out and some of the CO2 is looped back to the combustor while the

rest exits the system through a high pressure CO2 pipeline

NET Power is completing construction of the first 50MWth demonstration plant in

Texas

Conclusioni (1)

La CCS è una tecnologia necessaria per raggiungere gli accordi di Parigi.

Senza la CCS i costi aumentano del 140% e la probabilità di stare sotto i 2°C è

molto bassa (IPCC, IEA)

140 Gt/CO2 dovranno essere catturate da oggi al 2060 (IEA). Oggi sono

catturati circa 38 Mt per anno, con 17 progetti operativi.

Nel futuro la CCS su impianti industriali giocherà un ruolo critico, coprendo

circa il 50% del totale. Per alcune industrie la CCS è l‟unica vera soluzione

percorribile (vedi: cementifici)

La tecnologia CCS e‟ matura (anche per grossi volumi) ma non ancora

largamente applicata. Ci sono molte tecnologie a disposizione e la ricerca sta

continuando ad abbassare i costi (oggi tra 60 e 200 Euro/t)

Esistono sufficienti risorse per lo stoccaggio a livello mondiale, anche se certe

aree godono di migliore accesso rispetto ad altre.

Al livello politico mancano strumenti finanziari o incentivi che favoriscano lo

sviluppo di progetti. Il principali incentivi per progetti CCS sono l‟applicazioni di

EOR oppure la Carbon Tax.

Page 33: CCS: CATTURA E SEQUESTRO DELLA CO2: STATO ATTUALE E TECNOLOGIE · CCS: CATTURA E SEQUESTRO DELLA CO2: STATO ATTUALE E TECNOLOGIE Cover image: Aerial view of Tomakomai CCS Demonstration

Conclusioni (2)

In Europa ad oggi le nazioni che includono la CCS nei loro programmi di

decarbonizzazione, e quindi più attive nella promozione della CCS sono la

Norvegia, L‟Inghilterra e l‟Olanda.

Aree densamente industrializzate possono godere di infrastrutture condivise

per il trasporto e lo stoccaggio della CO2 (CCS clusters). La CCS è

particolarmente interessante per l‟industria del ferro, petrolifera e del cemento.

Si sta assistendo ad un ritorno d‟interesse verso l‟idrogeno come combustibile

pulito. In attesa che tecnologie per l‟idrogeno “rinnovabile” a basso costo siano

sviluppate, la produzione di idrogeno da gas naturale con CCS è oggi la

soluzione più economica.

C‟è grande interesso verso gli utilizzi della CO2 come materia riciclata (Carbon

Capture and Utilization, CCU), ma in molti casi gli utilizzi non garantiscono

l‟eliminazione della CO2 dall‟atmosfera in modo permanente.
