Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
DE-FE0031929 with the Southwest Research Institute titled ''Development of Coal Syngas Oxy-Combustion Turbine for Use in Advanced Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) Power Cycles''.
The primary objective of this project is to develop a coal syngas oxy-combustion turbine for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycle environments to improve the state of the art for thermal efficiency, plant costs, and flexible operation.
This will result in improved performance and production of a high-pressure stream of carbon dioxide (CO2), simplifying carbon capture and making the power plant near emission-free.
