| Summary: | This paper presents anoptimization cost model thatwas developed to calculate thecost of
installing CO2 Capture technology in Malaysia main power plants. This so-called C02
Capture technology is expected help to reduce theCO2 emission from main power plants
until they meet a specified CO2emission target without compromising thenational
electrical supply to thecustomers. There is also consideration to use new technology power
plants such as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), Natural Gas Combined
Cycle (NGCC) and touse non-fossil energy like hydroelectric, wind and nuclear inorder to
reduce theCO2 emissions by 50% from current CO2 emission level. There is stillongoing
research about using CO2 capture technology in fossil-fuel power plantaround the globe
but, Malaysia hasa great potential to accept thisnewtechnology install in main power plant
based on government determination in national budget to fight global warming. |
