Abstract
Oxyfuel combustion is expected to be one of the promising systems on CO_2 capture from pulverized-coal fired power plant, and enable the CO_2 to be captured in a more cost-effective manner compared to other CO_2 capture process from the power plant. The demonstration project (Callide Oxyfuel Project) on this field is now under way for applying oxyfuel combustion to an existing plant that is the power generation system in Callide-A power plant No.4 unit with a capacity of 30M We in Australia. One of main objectives of this project is to capture CO_2 from an actual power plant for CO_2 storage. At present, the studies toward the commercialization plant through this demonstration project on this area are implemented. In this paper, the activities for the approach on the commercialization for the oxyfuel combustion are mainly introduced and the current situation of Callide Oxyfuel Project is also outlined.
