Making Carbon Capture Bankable for NGCC: Optimizing Performance, Economics, and Risk Allocation
As power demand continues to grow, driven by expanding data centers and the electrification of industry, the power sector faces the dual challenge of increasing generation while achieving net-zero emissions. Post-combustion carbon capture is re-emerging as a practical solution for decarbonizing natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. While the technology is proven, further optimization is needed to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance project economics.
This presentation examines the technical and commercial challenges of developing bankable carbon capture projects, with a focus on integrating NGCC plants and capture systems for optimized low-carbon power generation. It also explores key business drivers, including carbon pricing, government incentives, and risk allocation.
Finally, the presentation highlights the growing importance of speed to market and how integrated delivery models can help accelerate project development and improve overall project success.
