Coal IGCC For Hydrogen Production, CO Recovery and Electricity

This document summarizes a study on coal integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology for hydrogen production, CO2 recovery, and electricity generation. Key points include: 1) An Aspen simulation model was developed to analyze the full energy cycle of an IGCC plant using Illinois #6 coal as feedstock. 2) The study found CO2 and hydrogen can be economically recovered from gasification if there are markets for enhanced oil recovery and hydrogen fuel. 3) Electricity generation efficiency is highest without CO2 capture but greenhouse gas emissions are also highest. Configurations with CO2 and/or hydrogen recovery have lower emissions at the cost of reduced efficiency.

Coal IGCC for Hydrogen Production, CO2 Recovery and Electricity

Review for the Aspen Global Climate Change Institute July 23rd, 2000 by Richard D. Doctor, John Molburg, Norman F. Brockmeier, and Prakash Thimmapuram

IGCC full-energy cycle analysis

IGCC - Study Basis


Both the Shell and Texaco entrained gasifier systems are under consideration. Shift willl need to be integrated into the process design which will be modified to produce H2, recover CO2, and produce electricity A full-energy cycle analysis will be developed based on an Aspen7 simulation of plant with a special focus shift, sulfur, CO2 recovery, PSA for hydrogen, and power generation Feed will be Illinois #6 coal High purity H2 sent 100 km by pipeline Supercritical-CO2 sent 500 km by pipeline

Conclusions: Mining & transport


Coal bed methane is an important uncontrolled emission Diesel rail transport emissions of N2O are less than 10% of typical values for Illinois Regulations for diesel fuel are reducing sulfur - hence N2O from diesel should be lower in the future

CO2 supercritical pipelines are currently operated for EOR

CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery


Purity: Not critical, dry, H2S benefits EOR but should be limited Production still to be set Shipment: 500 km; 330 mm pipe at 143 bar Capacity factor: 95% Capital recovery: 12% Transmission linked to CO2 infrastructure

H2 pipelines use lower pressures & shorter runs than natural gas

Hydrogen product
Purity: H2 at 99.999%, 119.9 KJ/g (LHV) Production go for high purity product and send blowdown to turbines Shipment: 100 km; 343 mm pipe at 30 bar Capacity factor: 95% Capital recovery: 12% Transmission: 0.171 $/103 scf; 0.564 $/GJ

Conclusions: IGCC plant

CO2 as a supercritical product (143 bar) can be recovered from coal gasification. Where there is an Enhanced Oil Recovery market, this is economical. The need for high pipeline-utilization is critical. Hydrogen can be recovered at high purity (99.999%) for sale from coal gasification, the need for high pipeline-utilization is critical. Pressures of 35 bar are optimal.

Status June 2000


ASPEN 10.1 upgrade on IGCC programs is now operational Linkage with SAIC has been established Linkage with Equation of State modeling community for ASPEN has been established Process economics will be treated in a more detailed manner Optimization of Shift integration has begun

Conclusions: H2 use

Conversion efficiencies need to approach 77% to match the Base Case output:
Solid-oxide fuel cell efficiencies are 53-58% Alkaline fuel cell efficiencies near 70%

Hydrogen can be delivered as a commodity
