Advanced zero emission power plant (AZEP)

Objective

AZEP addresses the development of a specific, zero emissions; gas turbine-based, power generation process in which:
- 100% reduction of CO_2 emission is made possible,
- The cost of CO_2 separation (compared to tail end capture) is reduced by 25-35% within 6 years, and by 35-50% within 10 years,
- Conventional, air-based, gas turbine equipment is utilised, allowing retrofitting,
- NO_x emissions are well below 1 ppm,
- The loss in power plant efficiency is less than 2 percentage points.
The key to achieving these targets is the development of an integrated reactor, in which O_2 is separated from air, such that combustion occurs in an N_2-free environment. To this effect, the following objectives have been set:
- Establish the economic/environmental advantages of the proposed process, reflecting emerging CO_2 disposal strategies
- Develop a mixed conducting membrane (MCM) for cost-effective supply of O_2,
- Develop a combustion method for fuel/O_2mixtures, which are heavily diluted with exhaust gas,
- Integrate the components (membrane, combustor) into a single unit MCM-Reactor, and perform functionality tests.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
