Concept
The zero carbon emissions are planned to be achieved by the combination of integrated gasification combined cycle and carbon capture and storage, as well as the supplement of up to 10% biomass in the combustion process. The generated CO2 will be utilized by depositing it underground in the deep layers of porous rock of the Jurassic and Triassic period, located at the depth of over one kilometer, and by chemical sequestration of CO2 in methanol, urea and other chemical products. As a result, the total reduction of CO2 emissions will amount to nearly three million tons annually (92%). Taking into account the biomass as a renewable energy source excluded from the carbon balance, it is even possible to achieve a negative CO2 emissions.
