Facts:

Main developer: Eneco Energie DONG Energy

The Enecogen project is post-combustion cryogenic CO2 capture from flue gas of Eneco gas fired CHP power plant. The initial capture capacity is 10,000 ton CO2 /yr, with ambitions of expanding to 2 million ton CO2 in full scale project. The full scale project entails capture of flue gas from a 850 MW gas power plant.

About 50% of the cooling needed for the cryogenic separation comes from the nearby Liongas’s LNG terminal. The captured CO2 will be transported to CO2 ‘infrastructure’ of Rijnmond, linked to horticulture, storage sites, and perhaps North Sea.

The initial investment is EURO 37 million, of which EURO 10 million is subsidies from Ministry of Finance.

Timing:

Project development 2006-2008, design 2009 and operation of from 2011. The timing of full-scale gas-plant and LNG terminal uncertain.
