Abstract: In this work, a cost-benefit analysis concerning the use of oxyfuel combustion technology is carried out. For the analysis, the IPP optimization software is used in which a decouple optimization method for power technology selection in competitive markets is employed and the electricity unit cost and the CO2 avoidance cost are calculated. The results indicate that oxyfuel technology is a competitive CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology. In addition, the effect of varying loan interest rates was investigated in the economic performance of an oxyfuel combustion plant. This analysis, revealed that up to a value of loan interest of approximately 5.3% the oxyfuel plant retains the competitive electricity unit costs (compared to other CCS technologies). For higher interest rate levels, other CCS technologies become more economically attractive.
