Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

The primary objective of this project is to develop a conceptual pulverized coal (PC)-fired power plant which facilitates the practical capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) for subsequent sequestration.

 

Project Background:

Because the linkage between global climatic change and terrestrial emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 is well documented; new coal combustion technologies must be developed to meet future emissions standards; especially for CO2; to assure continued U.S. power generation from its abundant domestic coal resources.  In this project; the combustion furnace will be optimized to produce a low-cost; high-efficiency power plant that supports the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) goal to develop advanced combustion systems that have the potential to control CO2 through integrated systems that concentrate CO2-enriched process streams for subsequent use or sequestration.   Specifically; the work to be performed under this agreement will evaluate the technical viability and economic competitiveness of an oxygen-enriched; pulverized coal (PC)-fired boiler system with CO2 sequestration.
