Abstract: This study evaluates the environmental and thermodynamic performance of six coal-fired power plants with CO2 capture and storage. The technologies examined are post-combustion capture using monoethanolamine, membrane separation, cryogenic fractionation and pressure swing adsorption, pre-combustion capture through coal gasification, and capture performing conventional oxy-fuel combustion. The incorporation of CO2 capture is evaluated both on its own and in combination with CO2 transport and geological storage, with and without beneficial use.
