该项目与低碳能源技术优先事项保持一致。具体地说，该提案侧重于发展氧燃料燃烧作为一种碳减排技术，并直接针对提高工厂效率和减少二氧化碳排放的燃烧技术以及碳捕获技术的关键主题，包括燃烧前或燃烧后或燃烧后或氧燃料燃烧技术。正如英国政府的碳减排技术战略(DTI/Pub UR 05/844,2005年6月)所指出的那样，未来的火力发电厂将被配置为最大限度地减少二氧化碳排放。在国际能源署的研究中，煤粉发电厂以氧燃料燃烧模式运行，并专门为二氧化碳捕获而设计，已被国际能源署确定为一种极具竞争力的清洁煤发电技术，非常适合新建先进/超临界发电厂或对现有发电厂进行改造。该项目旨在通过在广泛的部件测试、工厂设计和演示之前解决关键技术差距来推进氧气燃料燃烧的当前最先进水平。项目目标是：i)了解煤种对氧燃料燃烧的影响；ii)确定氧燃料对结渣、污垢和高温腐蚀的影响；iii)开发脱除NOx/SO2和二氧化碳净化的新工艺；iv)对全尺寸氧燃料燃烧器进行前期工程测试；v)评估与氧燃料燃烧相关的可靠性、可用性、可维护性和可操作性(RAMO)和安全问题。

The project is aligned with the Low Carbon Energy Technologies priority. Specifically, the proposal is focussed on the development of oxy-fuel firing as a carbon abatement technology, and directly targets the key themes of Combustion technologies that improve plant efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions and Carbon capture technologies, from pre- or post-combustion or oxy-fuel firing technologies . As indicated in the UK Government's Carbon Abatement Technology Strategy (DTI/Pub UR 05/844, June 2005) future thermal power plants will be configured to minimise CO2 emissions. Pulverised coal-fired plant, operating in oxy-fuel firing mode and specifically designed for CO2 capture, has been identified in IEA studies to be a highly competitive clean coal power generation technology, ideally suited to new build advanced/ultra-supercritical plant or for retrofit to existing plant. This project aims to advance the current state-of-art in oxy-fuel firing by addressing critical technology gaps ahead of extensive component testing, plant design and demonstration. The project objectives are: i) to understand the effect of coal type on oxy-fuel combustion; ii) to determine the impact of oxy-fuel on slagging, fouling, & high temperature corrosion; iii) to develop a novel process for NOx/SO2 removal & CO2 purification; iv) to undertake pre-engineering for the testing of a full-scale oxy-fuel burner; and v) to assess reliability, availability, maintainability & operability (RAMO) and safety issues relating to oxy-fuel firing.
