The Global CCS Institute has recently published a feasibility study report on applying carbon capture and storage (CCS) to a steel plant in China. Toshiba was commissioned to conduct the study in collaboration with Chinese corporations. The feasibility suggests that carbon capture in Chinese steel plants is a cost effective means of reducing carbon emissions compared with similar plants around the world. In this webinar, Toshiba presented on the major findings of this feasibility study.

2. Kensuke Suzuki
 Kensuke Suzuki is currently the CCS business manager at
Thermal & Hydro Power Systems & Services Division in Toshiba
Corporation. In this role, he is responsible for the development
and deployment of carbon capture and storage for thermal power
systems, particularly with focus to post-combustion carbon
capture technology.
 Suzuki was previously the group manager for Turbine Cycle
Planning Group, where he was responsible for organizing
technical activities pertaining to planning and tendering of new
built thermal power plants, including but not limited to conventional
power plants, combined cycles power plants, power and water
integrated power plants. During his 6 years in this division, he was
successful in orchestrating award of major projects for the
division, such as Umm Al Nar IWPP in UAE (2003) and Mundra
UMPP in India (2007).
CCS business manager - Thermal & Hydro Power Systems & Services Division
 Suzuki began his Toshiba career in April 1994 as design engineer of gas turbines. Building upon his
experience, he later became assistant manager and Toshiba focal point in for joint program on
combined cycle with General Electric in 1998. He subsequently brought this experience and
expertise to be part of the planning and tendering division of Thermal Power Division in 2002, where
he later became group manager in 2006.
 Suzuki holds Bachelor and Master degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Tokyo.

 Further investigation may be necessary, taking into consideration
variation in steel plant operation and flue gas composition.
 Detailed and careful planning of construction may be required, so
as not to disturb the normal production activity of the plant.
 Further performance improvement may be sought through
optimization and heat integration.
 Present proportion of CO2 capture is limited. Further scale-up
design would require more investigation on imposed constraints.
 Further investigation and clarification on CO2 offtake (EOR) usage
need to be conducted.

28. 28
 Concept of applying carbon capture technology to the
Chinese iron and steel industry has been illustrated.
 The study looked into matching of CO2 source and heat
source for CO2 recovery at Caofeidian Iron and Steel Plant.
Two possible cases for carbon capture plant were identified.
Both plant designs were developed and evaluated.
 Generic cost evaluation were conducted for the plant designs
developed. Owing to the competitive cost of capital, and the
use of heat sources available in the steel plant, cost of CO2
capture is relatively competitive compared to that of similar
size projects in other countries and sectors.
