Application of an amine-based CO2 capture system in retrofitting combined gas-steam power plants

Natural gas combined cycles (NGCCs) represent the main power generation technology in Italy, with a share of more than 40% of global thermoelectric power production. Due to their high operational flexibility, it is likely that NGCCs will continue to play a very important role in maintaining the reliability of supply in a power generation infrastructure characterized by the increasing spread of renewable energies. In this context, the integration of carbon capture technologies is regarded as an essential step to cope with the long-term climate protection target set by the European Union.
