Presentation of updated cost and performance results for coal and biomass co-firing in a pulverized coal power plant both with and without CO2 Capture at the Clearwater Clean Energy Conference. Update includes a 100% biomass fired case with and without capture.
This NETL presentation of recent updates to CO2 capture retrofits of a variety of industrial point sources was given at the 2022 Clearwater Clean Energy Conference. Presentation covers cost and performance results of Ammonia, Cement and Iron/Steel cases as well as some sensitivity results.
Presentation of Direct Air Capture Sorbent system analysis at the Clearwater Clean Energy Conference, August 2022.
This systems analysis by the National Energy Technology Laboratory's Strategic Systems Analysis and Engineering directorate) evaluates the cost and performance impacts of capturing CO 2 emissions from nine industrial sources (ammonia, ethylene oxide, and ethanol production, natural gas process, coal- and gas-to-liquids, refinery hydrogen production, iron and steel, and cement manufacturing). The industrial sectors examined are segregated according to the CO 2 purity level of the flue gas stream, prior to treatment. Certain sectors naturally produce a gas stream that is inherently high in CO 2 purity, and these sectors can achieve 99-100% removal. Other sectors produce a lower purity CO 2 flue gas stream and achieving 90-99% removal requires deeper levels of treatment, adding cost. In addition to the report that documents the analysis, a Carbon Capture Retrofit Database tool was also created that allows users to apply CO 2 capture to selected industries, to evaluate the cost of capture and compare across multiple plants, as well as across different industries. Users have the ability to change select input parameters (such as fuel price, capture rate, and financing assumptions) to evaluate the impact on industrial CO 2 capture economics.
This report serves as an independent assessment of the performance and cost of a generic sorbent-based direct air capture (DAC) system. The sorbent considered is not reflective of any one material type or functionalization approach; rather, it represents an approximate average of reported material performance in the literature. The system configuration represents what was judged to be the most reasonable configuration if these systems were to be deployed in the near term.
This technical note provides cost and performance estimates for post combustion carbon capture (PCCC) systems designed for greater than 90 percent capture on conventional PC- and NG-fueled power plants. The cost and performance estimates provided here were developed using the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL’s) well-documented methodology for conducting technoeconomic analysis of fossil energy conversion systems and leveraging published performance and cost projections for higher capture rate systems. Included in this technical note is a brief description of the method used to adjust select 90 percent capture cases from NETL’s Cost and Performance Baselines for Fossil Energy Systems Volume 1: Bituminous Coal and Natural Gas to Electricity, hereafter referred to as the Baseline Study. This technical note is intended to serve as an interim update to NETL’s Baseline Study cases by providing cost and performance estimates for high capture PCCC technology that can be deployed in the near-term at fossil-fueled electricity generating units.
OBSOLETE CCRD – SUPERSEDED<p>This National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) presentation addresses updated costs for the retrofit of post-combustion carbon capture on natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants.

Presentation of document that aims to provide guidance on methods and assumptions for estimating the future cost of advanced CCS and other low-carbon technologies that are currently at early, pre-commercial stages of development
Presentation of Latest DOE/NETL estimates for baseline costs and performance for coal and natural gas plants with carbon capture. Results will include cases: a) Biomass co-firing (CBECCS), and b) Partial capture of CO2. Presented at the Air and Waste Management Association CCUS Webinar on March 3, 2021.
The white paper is an effort to draw up a set of CCS costing guidelines in three complementary areas where further guidelines and better practices are needed, and where efforts are underway to address those topics. The first area of study tackles the establishment of improved guidelines for cost evaluation of advanced low-carbon technology (such as a new CO 2 capture process or a novel power plant design). The second area of study focuses on CCS from non-power industries while the final area addresses quality assurance and uncertainty evaluations of data and models used in CCS cost analysis.
High level overview of the performance and cost of post-combustion CO2 capture on pulverized coal and natural gas combined cycles in greenfield and retrofit applications. Includes effects of less than 90% capture as well.
