The base case for this study will be a 500 MWt Siemens gasifier fired on Alberta sub-bituminous coal. An evaluation of the impact of individual and combined technologies advances on the base case will be considered. An assessment of the development status of these technologies will also be produced.
Biomass Cofiring: KEMA has been retained to complete a study of the various technologies which can be used to complete modest and significant cofiring of biomass fuels in a coal boiler. In addition they will be reviewing the characteristics of various biomass feedstocks. KEMA will also recommend a small number of configurations and feedstocks to study further to determine their cost of CO2 avoided.
Coal Beneficiation: Sherritt will be completing a study on the costs, benefits, risks and status of several dozen coal beneficiation technologies. EPRI will also look at the impact on CO2 emissions and the economic benefits of reducing specified amounts of ash and moisture for several coals.
