Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated process that enables cost-effective low carbon power production for natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants utilizing the Linde-BASF advanced amine carbon capture technology and hydrogen technologies. The present invention is a flexible carbon capture and storage (FLECCS) system incorporating the NGCC, a post combustion capture (PCC) plant, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, hydrogen compression and storage tanks.
Claims7
An integrated power plant with a flexible carbon capture and storage system for producing a low carbon source of power, comprising:
- (c) operating in a first mode where the excess power from a NGCC is transmitted to an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen which is stored for later utilization in the power plant;
- and
- (d) operating in a second mode where the stored hydrogen and oxygen is utilized in various operational units of the integrated power plant to produce power exported to the grid.
