DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE AND STORAGE TECHNOLOGY - TAIWAN POWER COMPANY PERSPECTIVE

Carbon dioxide has been recognized as one of the main causes of global warming, and the emission of CO2 is inevitably encountered by the use of fossil fuels for electricity production in power plants. In consideration of reducing CO2 emission from power plant, the projects of advanced CO2 capture technology and off-shore geological CO2 storage are proposed and performed by Taiwan Power Company. In advanced CO2 capture technology project, the proposal of CaO/CaCO3 looping process pilot scale field test initiated by Industrial Technology Research Institute to be conducted in the collaboration between Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Taiwan Power Company is an important issue. Main tasks including potential site selection for geological CO2 storage and CO2 storage capacity estimated by TOUGH2 and TOUGHREACT simulation in the off-shore geological CO2 storage project. A potential site in the southern area of Taihsi basin for CO2 storage with approximately 4.518 Gt capacity is proposed in the project. With regard to the framework of carbon dioxide capture and storage projects, a timetable for carbon dioxide capture and storage pilot scale field tests is proposed by Taiwan Power Company.
