The START Mission recommendations served as the information basis and independent expert evaluation for Egypt's subsequent application to the Global Environmental Facility, to support the identified 140MW Integrated Solar Combined
Cycle (ISCC)
power plant project at Kuraymat
with a 50 Million dollar grant under GEF - OP7.
The baseline is for a floating
plant, i.e., the
power and water
cycles are housed in a barge or ship
with the electricity transmitted to shore via a 15 cm submarine
power cable and the desalinated water via a small, 15 to 16 cm diameter hose pipe.
With coal - derived electricity, the calculation would include the life
cycle from mine to
power plant to electric grid.
Both increasing domestic supply of natural gas and lower natural gas prices, together
with the high efficiency of combined -
cycle power plants, have contributed to their increased use.
Luderer tells Carbon Brief: «The most important finding [of our research] was that the expansion of wind and solar
power... comes
with life -
cycle emissions that are much smaller than the remaining emissions from existing fossil
power plants, before they can finally be decommissioned.»
If the U.S. were instead to use that natural gas to generate electricity as part of a portfolio
with renewable sources of electricity, the analysis shows that «if the entire vehicle fleet were converted to electric vehicles and high efficiency natural gas combined -
cycle power plants were used to generate all the additional electricity required, the increase in natural gas demand would be significantly less» than if the entire fleet was burning natural gas in its combustion engines — roughly a decrease in natural gas usage of 19 billion cubic feet per day.
Riverkeeper retained Synapse to assess the potential impacts to energy reliability and electric
power sector air emissions associated
with the construction and operation of a closed -

[McCarthy continues:] However, it is important to note that under the proposed carbon pollution standard for new
power plants, companies would not be required to build natural gas combined
cycle units; they would be required to meet a standard of 1000 lbs / MWh, which can be met either through the use of natural gas or by burning coal along
with carbon capture and storage [CCS].

It's very likely that most new
power plants, at least for the immediate future, will be natural gas combined
cycle (NGCC)
plants, but at some point, the availability of coal and the suitability of coal - fired
power plants for providing base load
power, will mean that coal - fired
power plants could once again be competitive
with NGCC
plants.
CSP systems can be also combined
with combined
cycle power plants resulting in hybrid
power plants which provide high - value, dispatchable
power.
Compare that

The comparative capital cost study of a combined
cycle gas unit versus a wind farm
with gas turbine back - up
power also reveals that the wind farm / gas turbine installed KW cost is more than twice the cost of the combined
cycle plant.
The comparison of costs is shown in the figure, and illustrate that carbon can be reduced much more cheaply
with easy operational changes like improving
power plant heat rates or increased use of natural gas combined
cycle than
with most renewable technologies.
