Coal is an abundantly available source for power generation in India, contributing about 77% in the total electricity generation in the country. India has substantial reserves of low sulphur, low grade (high ash) coal which is expected to continue to be a major energy source for the next few decades. But the coal-based thermal power industry is responsible for significant share of emissions of the industrial sector in India. Combustion of coal leads to emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), a prominent greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for climate change. Various CO2 mitigation techniques including Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) may be required in future to stabilize the greenhouse gas level in the atmosphere. The quality of coal used for power generation plays a critical role in deciding the need for appropriate emission control technologies, and affects the performance of the plant (plant efficiency, net electricity generation and CO2 emissions) and cost of electricity generation. It would also affect the overall performance and cost of CCS. This study investigates the impact of coal quality while implementing post-combustion carbon capture system and oxy-fuel carbon capture system in the new supercritical coal fired power plants in India. Pre-combustion CO2 capture in IGCC plant using the Indian coal is a challenge, and hence not included as an option in this analysis. This study focuses on post-combustion CO2 capture and oxy-fuel carbon capture system which seems a promising option in Indian context, considering the large existing pulverized coal (PC) fleet that is available in the country and the ease with which it can be retrofitted. Also, there have been large scale post combustion CCS based demonstration projects in Canada and U.S. with more upcoming projects planned globally. The scope of this work however, is limited till CO2 capture and compression and does not take into account technical and economic viability of transportation and long-term storage (T&S) of the captured CO2, due to the lack of reliable data and cost estimates. The Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) is used to simulate 500 MWe supercritical pulverized coal (PC) base plant, with and without CO2 capture system (post-combustion capture and oxy-fuel combustion). The performance of these plants is simulated using coals from different parts of the country, each with different composition, calorific value and pricing. In addition to the domestic coal, plants using imported coal are also simulated. Through this study, we wish to investigate the suitability of Indian coal for implementation of CCS in the country while providing a viable roadmap. Finally, we would also carry out uncertainty analysis to discuss how technical, economic and policy parameters would affect the relevance of CCS in India.
