Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze economic and environmental sustainability (via techno-economic analysis) of CO 2 mitigation technology (i.e. post combustion CO 2 capture system, PCC) that can be employed by the energy sector as a way forward for low carbon power generation. RESULTS: The analysis was performed by using a previously developed hybrid mixed integer nonlinear programming and model predictive control (MINLP-MPC) algorithm. Based on the simulation results, operation of coal-fired power plant associated with PCC plant under the forecast condition (year 2020) was capable to obtain substantial net operating revenue subjected to carbon taxes at US$7, 10 and 14/tonne CO 2 (Scenarios 1-3) with the Accepted Article This article is protected by copyright.
