• Effective integration of post-combustion capture and power cycles
• Electricity output penalty – what really matters
• Flexibility – a key parameter for power plants

Advanced CO2 capture technologies and chemical and hydrocarbon processing
• Scope for industrial capture processes
• Hydrogen production via catalysed shift combined with CO2 capture
• Oxyfuel firing for methane reforming

Concluding issues
• Business opportunities and drivers
• Barriers and uncertainties
