Six rules are proposed that should be followed to achieve optimal post combustion CO_2 capture system performance in power plant applications. Although the rules appear uncontroversial, many previous studies have not followed them all. This should be taken into consideration when making an assessment of the likely current performance for power plants with post combustion capture. The rules are discussed and examples given of the benefits that may accrue from following them. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for future post combustion capture applications and suggestions for areas where additional work is required.
