2. Further Information
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Project Description | Original plan was for new-build IGCC coal power plant, based on the (now cancelled) Summit Power Texas Clean Energy Project design, with options for supply of syngas to nearby refinery. Now gas-fed options are being considered. Selection of configuration will depend on government and commercial interest. CO2 transport would re-use existing Feeder 10 gas pipeline to St Fergus. CO2 storage originally planned through EOR in North Sea, with saline formation storage as alternative, now likely to tie in with St Fergus hub development (see Acorn Project entry). Mar'15 - UK and Scottish Governments jointly fund GBP 4.2 million industrial research and feasibility studies. Autumn 2016 - initial feasibility study results presented to government but not published. Project led study setting out financial value of CCS to UK as a whole, published Oct'17.June 2018, Feasibilty study summary report published. Four technology options considered: CCGT with post-combustion capture; SMR for hydrogen supply or power generation; two pressurised oxy-gas systems, either CapSol (ex Sargas) or NET Power Allam cycle. Grangemouth and CCEP are included in the ACT ALIGN Project, which will produce blueprints for decarbonising six industrial regions in Europe.(Updated 11/06/18) |
