Abstract: A power plant for combustion of carbonaceous fuels with CO2 capture, comprising a pressurized fluidized bed combustion chamber (2), heat pipes (8, 8?) for cooling of the combustion gas in the combustion, a direct contact cooler (15), a cleaned exhaust pipe (18) for withdrawal of the exhaust gas from the direct contact cooler (15) and introduction of the cooled exhaust gas into a CO2 absorber (19), where a lean exhaust pipe (20) is connected to the top of the absorber (19) for withdrawal of lean exhaust gas from the absorber (20), and a rich absorbent pipe (30) is connected to the bottom of the absorber (19) for withdrawal of rich absorbent and introduction of the rich absorbent into a stripping column (32) for regeneration of the absorbent to give a lean absorbent and a CO2 stream that is further treated to give clean CO2, where a water recirculation pipe (16) is connected to the bottom of the direct contact cooler (15) for withdrawal of used cooling water and connected to the top of the direct contact cooler

Abstract: A method for producing electrical power and capture CO2, where gaseous fuel and an oxygen containing gas are introduced into a gas turbine to produce electrical power and an exhaust gas, where the exhaust gas withdrawn from the gas turbine is cooled by production of steam in a boiler (20), and where cooled exhaust gas is introduced into a CO2 capture plant for capturing CO2 from the cooled exhaust gas leaving the boiler (20) by an absorption/desorption process, before the treated CO2 lean exhaust gas is released into the surroundings and the captured CO2 is exported from the plant, where the exhaust gas leaving the gas turbine has a pressure of 3 to 15 bara, and the exhaust gas is expanded to atmospheric pressure after leaving the CO2 capture plant. A plant for carrying out the method is also described.
