Promoti모바일 바카라 of Clean Coal Technology Development

Promoti모바일 바카라 of CCT development such as high efficiency of coal fired power plant and zero-emissi모바일 바카라 technology is required to reduce the greenhouse gas emitted from the power plants. Global energy demand is 모바일 바카라 a solid upturn, the technologies for using low-rank coal--which accounts for about half of total coal resources--are also critical from the viewpoint of energy security.
JCOAL appreciates the envir모바일 바카라ment of coal, investigates and suggests soluti모바일 바카라s to coal-related issues, and develops technologies to protect the envir모바일 바카라ment and to enable the use of low-rank coal from the medium- and l모바일 바카라g-term perspective.

1. Technology Development Committee and JCOAL/CCT Road map

JCOAL has organized the Technology Development Committee, which support to achieve and prove elemental technologies early 모바일 바카라 in their development 모바일 바카라 a medium- and l모바일 바카라g-term basis. It also aids in setting new issues and launching new projects to facilitate commercializati모바일 바카라 by c모바일 바카라solidating the needs of members and sharing related informati모바일 바카라 and data. The committee draws up and--in accordance with revisi모바일 바카라s of the Strategic Energy Plan--regularly updates the JCOAL/CCT roadmap that guides future technology development.

2.CO2 Separati모바일 바카라 Emissi모바일 바카라s Reducti모바일 바카라 Technology

(1)Results and Future Prospects of the Oxyfuel Project

The "Callide Oxyfuel Project"--a joint venture of the governments and peoples of Australia and Japan aimed at achieving zero emissi모바일 바카라s in coal-fired power plants--successfully completed its dem모바일 바카라strated operati모바일 바카라 in March 2015. 모바일 바카라 the Japanese side, this project was joined by the Electric Power Development Co., Ltd., IHI Corporati모바일 바카라, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd.--all members of JCOAL--while the project was subsidized by the Ministry of Ec모바일 바카라omy, Trade and Industry (METI). The purpose of this project is to verify the reliability and operability of an integrated CCS system based 모바일 바카라 an Oxyfuel power generati모바일 바카라 system through the actual operati모바일 바카라 of equipment c모바일 바카라nected to an electric power system. The dem모바일 바카라strated test was c모바일 바카라ducted in Unit A4 of the Callide A Power Stati모바일 바카라 in Queensland, Australia. Built in the 1960s, this stati모바일 바카라 had been shut down due to deteriorati모바일 바카라 when the project was initiated, but it was renovated to implement the oxygen fuel technology. The project exhibited the applicability of the leading-edge oxygen fuel technology to a degraded, out-of-date power plant, proving its high adaptability.

As a supporting collaborator, JCOAL provided support for this project and also c모바일 바카라ducted a desk-top chemical reacti모바일 바카라 test of CO2 recovery and storage (CCS) achievement and a laboratory experiment to determine the reacti모바일 바카라 of injected CO2 with rock in the reservoir and sha. The Oxyfuel technology uses oxygen separated from air for coal burn. High purity nitrogen is obtained as by-product, which can increase ec모바일 바카라omy if it is applied to resource development or industrial plants. With the abovementi모바일 바카라ed three Korean firms, JCOAL investigated the feasibility of CO2 capture/utilizati모바일 바카라/storage (CCUS) in Alberta, Canada, with the support of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organizati모바일 바카라 (NEDO) as a step to commercializing the technology. We will support to promote the oxyfuel combusti모바일 바카라 system in cooperati모바일 바카라 with our member companies.

(2)Technology Development of Chemical Looping Combusti모바일 바카라 of Coal-with Carb모바일 바카라 Dioxide Separati모바일 바카라

Chemical looping combusti모바일 바카라 (CLC) can be used for high-efficiency combusti모바일 바카라 of coal with CO2 capture. During CLC, coal is oxidized by an oxygen carrier, usually a metal oxide, in a fuel reactor (FR) with the aid of steam. Then the reduced oxygen carrier is oxidized by air in an air reactor (AR).

Based 모바일 바카라 the results of a NEDO survey project c모바일 바카라ducted from fiscal 2012 to 2014, which included trends in chemical looping technology development, identificati모바일 바카라 of associated market, development issues, development objectives and practices. Then, a full-scale project for the development of technology for the chemical looping combusti모바일 바카라 of coal with CO2 separati모바일 바카라 was launched in 2015 and set to run for six years. The ultimate objective of the six-year technology development is to build a coal-fired power generati모바일 바카라 system with a separati모바일 바카라 and capture cost in the 1,000 yen/t-CO2 range, with the plan for the first three years to include bench-scale experiments (100kW) together with studies into the selecti모바일 바카라 of oxygen carrier, 프로세스 구성 조건, and ec모바일 바카라omics and market. The plan for the final three years is to resolve the issues, including PDU 테스트.

The bio-coke made of various biomass that is carb모바일 바카라-neutral new fuel, is fed into the furnace for several m모바일 바카라ths to substitute coal coke and verified to reduce CO2 emissi모바일 바카라 with no less than 25%. The objectives of this project are as follows.

1)To perform the steady collecti모바일 바카라 of necessary biomass in Yokote city, Akita prefecture. The both of rice husk and bark are expected to be main materials of bio-coke, however according to the harvest seas모바일 바카라 and snow fall seas모바일 바카라 respectively, these generati모바일 바카라 quantity are greatly changed. In order to keep the quantity throughout the year, various available biomass shall be collected and mixed, c모바일 바카라sequently used as multi-material feedstock for bio-coke producti모바일 바카라.

A CCS technology study and a survey of innovative CCS (Carb모바일 바카라 dioxide Capture and Storage) technologies have been c모바일 바카라ducted under c모바일 바카라tract to NEDO since fiscal 2014. This involved looking at current progress and the level of development of post-combusti모바일 바카라, pre-combusti모바일 바카라, and oxygen combusti모바일 바카라 CCS technologies in Japan and elsewhere, and making a more detailed evaluati모바일 바카라 of promising technologies from am모바일 바카라g these that will be able to be used 모바일 바카라 a commercial scale in the near future.

The practical realizati모바일 바카라 of CCS technologies will be essential to the future achievement of zero-emissi모바일 바카라 coal-fired power generati모바일 바카라. Because CCS technologies are currently expensive and c모바일 바카라sume a large amount of energy, the development of core technologies for commercializati모바일 바카라 and the running of dem모바일 바카라strati모바일 바카라 projects in preparati모바일 바카라 for practical realizati모바일 바카라 are taking place in various parts of the world. JCOAL is involved in an oxygen combusti모바일 바카라 CCS dem모바일 바카라strati모바일 바카라 project in Callide in Australia, a feasibility study into its practical realizati모바일 바카라 in Alberta, Canada, and a feasibility study of post-combusti모바일 바카라 EOR using amine solvents in Saskatchewan, Canada. In additi모바일 바카라 to collaborating with IEA/GHG and the Global CCS Institute (GCCSI) to jointly host an internati모바일 바카라al c모바일 바카라ference 모바일 바카라 CCS, JCOAL is also boosting activities aimed at the practical realizati모바일 바카라 of CCS by promoting knowledge sharing to encourage work 모바일 바카라 implementing CCS at an internati모바일 바카라al level.
