Background:
Due to the overwhelming success of
the three previous Oxyfuel Combustion Network workshops
held in Germany, USA and Japan, we have responded to
the growing interest in oxyfuel technologies for power
plant with CO2 capture by developing
the workshops into a full Conference.
The 1st IEA GHG International Oxyfuel
Combustion Research Network Workshop, held in Cottbus,
Germany 2005 sarted the discussion with only two major
large scale oxyfuel combustion projects announced namely
Vattenfall's 30MWth pilot plant and CS Energy's Callide
30MWe power plant retrofit project. By the 3rd meeting
this had grown to 12 major large scale burner testing,
pilot plants and demonstration projects worldwide (see
table below for list of projects).
2008 sees a major milestone in the
development of oxyfuel combustion technologies achieved.
In November 2008 Vattenfall and Alstom have successfully
completed the commissioning the world's first full chain
Oxyfuel pilot plant facility with CO2
capture. To reconginse this achievement and mark the
1st anniversary of the pilot plant we will be holding
the 1st IEA GHG International Oxyfuel Combustion Conference
in Cottbus, Germany. This event will provide a forum
to continue to discuss the remaining issues relevant
to the development of oxyfuel combustion technologies
and share what we have learnt from the experience of
operating the 1st oxyfuel combustion boiler.
2. Conference objectives:
-
To provide a forum for engineers, scientists, power
plant operators , equipment manufacturers and service
providers to discuss the various issues relevant
to oxyfuel combustion technologies.
-
To share experiences and discuss information obtained
from various large scale oxyfuel combustion technologies.
-
To provide opportunities for young researchers
to present their work and meet with industry experts.
IEA GHG have decided to keep the Network Workshop format,
therefore we will only require you to submit an extended
abstract and presentations only (we will not require
a full paper). It should be noted that we are opening
slots for 35–45 presentations (30 minutes per
presentation including Q&A) and 30–40 poster
presentations. Thus, we encourage you to submit your
abstracts according to the relevant topics listed.
Please note that submissions will not
be limited to one paper per organisation but will chosen
based on the merits and interest of the audience. The
organising committee will be appointing various experts
to referee and select the best and most promising abstracts.
Likewise, we would also encourage participants
to present your work for both oral and poster presentations.
Young researchers who are working with Universities,
Research Institutes and Industry are strongly encouraged
to also present a poster to discuss with experts participating
to this conference.
A book of abstracts will be distributed
during the conference. All presentations will be uploaded
to the IEA GHG 1st Oxyfuel Combustion Conference Workshop
and CD will be distributed after the conference.
