What is Economic Implications of Oxyfuel Application in a Lignite-fired Power Plant about?

Scope of the work presented in this paper is to examine and evaluate the application of the oxyfuel combustion CO 2 capture technology in a lignite-fired power plant from an economic point of view. Results from simulations dealing with the most important features for CO 2 reduction are performed. The operational characteristics, the efficiency penalties as well as the net efficiency reduction emerging from the Greenfield application of the oxyfuel technology are presented. CO 2 capture costs and the energy requirements associated with the oxyfuel method affect significantly the cost of electricity. This paper focuses on the analysis of the techno-economic factors that result in the increase of the cost of electricity in comparison with the conventional air-fired power plant. For this reason a typical Greek lignite power plant is used as a reference case. Any technical, economic and financial assumptions applied provide a common basis for both power plants (i.e., conventional and oxyfuel) for the assessment of the change of the cost of electricity and the CO 2 capture cost. The oxyfuel simulations are performed by taking into account the adoption of measures for the exploitation of
