Background
In recent years IEAGHG has undertaken a series of studies on the performance and costs of plants incorporating the three leading CO2 capture technologies: post combustion, oxy-combustion and pre-combustion capture. In the time since those studies were undertaken there have been significant technological advances and substantial increases in estimated plant costs. IEAGHG therefore decided to undertake a wholly new study on costs of capture at coal based plants producing the two leading low-carbon energy carriers, namely electricity.
