User Guide for the Public PC and NGCC CO2 Capture Retrofit Database Models
- Leidos, Reston, VA (United States)
The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has produced three carbon capture retrofit databases (CCRDs), which contain a collection of units selected from the power generation and industrial sources (IND) sectors located in the United States that are either in operating or standby status. The power generation category is subdivided into the post-combustion (PC) CCRD – containing coal-fired and atmospheric fluidized bed (AFB) units – and the natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) CCRD – containing natural gas-fired combined cycle and combined cycle single shaft units. The IND CCRD contains facilities from the ammonia, cement, ethanol, hydrogen, and natural gas processing industries. Public versions of these databases were created for use by individuals interested in exploring the impact of retrofitting plants with carbon capture. The power versions contain data from the NETL baseline reports as examples of information that a user can enter for plants of interest. This report is intended to provide a general guide to each of the power CCRDs. Efforts have been made to ensure similarities between each of the CCRDs. However, as the sources of CO2 vary, differences will exist – most notably in the IND CCRD. Therefore, the PC and NGCC CCRDs are discussed in this guide.
