The Cost of Carbon Capture CCST MIT
Capital Costs /kW /(kg of CO 2 processed per hour) OM Costs mills/kWh mills/kg of CO 2 processed Energy Requirements Btu/kWh kWh/kg of CO 2 processed It can be seen that NGCC power plants have the highest incremental capital cost and the highest energy requirements for the capture ( kWh/kg of CO 2 processed), due to the low content of CO 2 in the flue gas (about 3%).
