Retrofitting CO2 capture to existing power plants

23rd May 2011

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture

This study assesses at a generic level the relative merits of retrofitting CCS to existing power plants and building new plants with CCS. As such it focuses mainly on the question "is CCS retrofit worth doing" rather than "can it be done". The latter would need to be addressed by detailed site specific studies for individual plants, examples of which are being undertaken by other organisations. However, the study also reports on high-level assessments of the potential for CCS retrofits in various countries: the USA, UK and China.
