Abstract
The objective of the paper was to determine the overall impact on the environment of CO2 capture process integration in a power plant with subcritical parameters using the technology of the circulating fluid bed combustion (CFBC).The comparative analysis of CFBC technology with and without post-combustion CO2 capture was based on the life cycle analysis methodology, highlighted the value of the indicator Global Warming Potential (GWP) but also others impact indicators such as ADP, POCP, PH, AP, and EP. Also, the integration of CO2 capture technology in the CFBC power plant was evaluated by economic and techniques indicators, laying out the effect on the initial investment but also on fixed and variable maintenance costs.
