Abstract
This front-end engineering and design (FEED) study is for a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system for Unit #2 (816 MW) at the Prairie State Generating Company’s (PSGC) Energy Campus in Marissa, IL. The capture technology used is the Advanced KM CDR Process™ from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). The project will be the largest post-combustion capture plant in the world. In addition, it will incorporate advancements in the technology including lessons learned from past projects and a new proprietary solvent. The overall business model being developed by PSGC focuses on the generation of 45Q tax credits as a result of sequestering the captured CO2. Because the Prairie Research Institute (PRI) within the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) leads both this capture effort and the storage effort, there is close coordination and integration between the capture and storage efforts. This integration is vital to achieving the desired business targets for the project.
