Date: 8th -11th September 2009

Radisson Hotel, Cottbus, Germany

Schwarze Pumpe Pilot Plant

Organised by
IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme and Vattenfall

1. Background:

Due to the overwhelming success of the three previous Oxyfuel Combustion Network workshops held in Germany, USA and Japan, we have responded to the growing interest in oxyfuel technologies for power plant with CO₂ capture by developing the workshops into a full Conference.

The 1st IEAGHG International Oxyfuel Combustion Research Network Workshop, held in Cottbus, Germany 2005 sarted the discussion with only two major large scale oxyfuel combustion projects announced namely Vattenfall's 30MWth pilot plant and CS Energy's Callide 30MWe power plant retrofit project. By the 3rd meeting this had grown to 12 major large scale burner testing, pilot plants and demonstration projects worldwide (see table below for list of projects).

2. Conference objectives:

1. To provide a forum for engineers, scientists, power plant operators , equipment manufacturers and service providers to discuss the various issues relevant to oxyfuel combustion technologies.
2. To share experiences and discuss information obtained from various large scale oxyfuel combustion technologies.
3. To provide opportunities for young researchers to present their work and meet with industry experts.
