Abstract
The growth in electricity generation from variable renewable energy sources has led to a greater requirement for power plants that can adjust their power output to balance supply and demand. To reduce CO2 emissions associated with thermal power plants, they can be fitted with carbon capture and storage. There are a number of different technology and operational options to capture CO2. We investigate several of these options for post-combustion capture using amine solvents in the context of different scenarios for the evolution of the UK electricity system. We find that the key factor influencing which option is most attractive is where the plant sits in the merit order.
