About the project
The objective of FME BigCO2 is to pave the ground for gas power generation that employ CO2 capture and storage with the potential of fulfilling the following compound target:
- 90% CO2 capture rate
- 50% cost reduction
- fuel-to-electricity penalty less than 7% compared with state-of-the-art gas power generation
The project also aims at:
- Generating and refining knowledge and topical comprehension of power cycle integration
- Shortening the lead-time and improve certainty of plant characteristics and limiting the technical and commercial risk at an acceptable level. This which (may) lead up to a decision of setting up a green-field gas power plant in Norway in compliance with the stated tangible objective
Outcomes
UiO educates one PhD fellow in this project.
