Abstract

The method for operating an arrangement of a generation plant, a carbon dioxide capture plant and a carbon dioxide utilization plant includes generating carbon dioxide containing flue gas, supplying the carbon dioxide containing flue gas to the capture plant, separating a carbon dioxide stream from the carbon dioxide containing flue gas, supplying the utilization plant with the carbon dioxide stream, supplying the utilization plant with water, generating syngas at the utilization plant, supplying heat discharged from the utilization plant to the generation plant and/or to the capture plant and/or using it within the utilization plant.

First claim

1 . An arrangement of a generation plant for generating a carbon dioxide containing flue gas, a carbon dioxide capture plant for separating a carbon dioxide stream from carbon dioxide containing flue gas, a carbon dioxide utilization plant for producing syngas by reaction of carbon dioxide with water, comprising
ducting for forwarding carbon dioxide containing flue gas from the generation plant to the capture plant, ducting for forwarding a carbon dioxide stream from the capture plant to the utilization plant, ducting for supplying the utilization plant with water, ducting for transferring heat from the utilization plant to the generation plant and/or for its utilization within the utilization plant and/or ducting for transferring heat from the utilization plant to the capture plant.

2 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the generation plant is a power plant for electric power generation.

3 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the generation plant is a steel mill or waste incinerator or glass furnace or any other industrial processes which involves combustion of fossil fuel.

4 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the capture plant is a post combustion capture plant.

5 . The arrangement of claim 1 , further comprising ducting for transferring heat discharged from the generation plant to the capture plant.

6 . The arrangement of claim 1 , further comprising ducting for transferring heat discharged from the generation plant to the utilization plant.

7 . The arrangement of claim 2 , further comprising electric connections for transferring at least part of the electric power generated at the power plant to the utilization plant.

8 . A method for operating an arrangement of a generation plant for generating a carbon dioxide containing flue gas, a carbon dioxide capture plant for separating a carbon dioxide stream from carbon dioxide containing flue gas, a carbon dioxide utilization plant for producing syngas by reaction of carbon dioxide with water, comprising
generating carbon dioxide containing flue gas at the generation plant, supplying the carbon dioxide containing flue gas from the generation plant to the capture plant, separating a carbon dioxide stream from the carbon dioxide containing flue gas at the capture plant, supplying the utilization plant with the carbon dioxide stream, supplying the utilization plant with water, generating syngas at the utilization plant, supplying heat discharged from the utilization plant to the generation plant and/or to the capture plant and/or using it within the utilization plant.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the generation plant is a power plant for electric power generation,

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising supplying heat discharged from the generation plant to the capture plant.

11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising supplying heat discharged from the generation plant to the utilization plant.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising supplying at least part of the electric power generated at the power plant to the utilization plant.
