Variable O&M Cost

← Previous | Next →

The Variable O&M Cost screen shows the variable O&M costs for the flue gas CO2 capture area in a single-table format:

•Process Makeup Water: This is the water cost for the flue gas CO2 capture area.

•Electricity: This is the electricity cost for the flue gas CO2 capture area.

•Solvent: This is the cost of the solvent used in the flue gas CO2 capture area.

•Activated Carbon: This is the cost of the activated carbon used in the flue gas CO2 capture area.

•Triethylene Glycol: This is the cost of the triethylene glycol used in CO2 compression. The triethylene glycol consumption rate is estimated empirically based on data reported in NETL’s Comparison of Commercial, State-of-the-Art, Fossil-Based Hydrogen Production Technologies report and is expressed as a function of the total CO2 product flow rate.

•Reclaimer Waste Disposal: This is the disposal cost for reclaimer waste.

•Triethylene Glycol Disposal: This is the disposal cost for triethylene glycol.

•Non-Fuel Variable O&M Cost: This is the total of all components listed above. It is highlighted in yellow.
