Abstract

This paper is devoted to improvement of environmental safety in hydrocarbon-firing TPPs. Despite the development of renewable power sources, the number of traditional power production facilities continues its growth. The toxic emission mitigation in traditional TPPs has been deeply investigated, but the problem of greenhouse gas atmospheric emissions is of topical interest. Oxy-fuel technology reduces CO 2 emissions and is highly efficient and environmentally safe. Also, it requires relatively low capital investments. Thermal efficiency analysis shows that the Allam cycle facilities have the best efficiency. Their thermodynamic parameters can be optimized with minimal primary costs and capital investments. This newly developed analysis was used to compare the investment efficiency of projects for the buildup of oxy-fuel and combined cycle facilities. Without emission quote payments, the NPV of combined cycle projects is 16% higher, as well as having a lower DPP. The electricity production primary costs in oxy-fuel and combined cycle facilities are similar, which reflects the technologies’ similarity and similar fuel costs. Implementation of carbon dioxide emission quote marketing makes oxy-fuel facilities more investment-attractive. Parametric studies show that when Russia implements CO 2 emission quotes compatible with the current EU level, an oxy-fuel facility erection project will be financially reasonable. Thus, it can be concluded that the construction of oxy-fuel power plants is one of the most promising and investment-attractive solutions to reduce CO2 emissions in the energy sector for large industrialized countries. The managerial consequences of their implementation will include the stabilization of greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring the financial stability of the energy industry.
