CCS world projects: Masdar
Masdar is Abu Dhabi’s renewable and alternative energy and clean technology initiative, a joint venture between BP Alternative Energy and Rio Tinto, to design and build an industrial-scale hydrogen-fired power plant, including CO2 capture, to be located in Abu Dhabi. Natural gas would be processed in the plant to produce hydrogen and CO2. The hydrogen would then be used to fuel gas turbines and generate 420MW of low-carbon electricity. Rather than being emitted to the atmosphere, approximately 90% of the CO2 would be captured, ready for transportation and injection into a producing oil field, which would replace the natural gas currently being injected into the field to maintain pressure. The plant could commence pre-commissioning activities in 2013.
