Texas Clean Energy Project signs long-term CO2 offtake agreement with Whiting Petroleum for enhanced oil recovery; 90% CO2 capture from IGCC coal polygen plant

Green Car Congress

In the Permian Basin, approximately one additional barrel of oil can be recovered for each 6,000 cubic feet (6 Mcf) of compressed CO 2 injected into the oil field. In oil fields such as Whiting’s, the injected CO 2 mixes with the oil that is left behind in the primary oil-well production and the secondary water-injection stage.

First application of GE ORegen organic rankine cycle waste heat recovery system at Alliance Pipeline Compressor Station in Alberta

Green Car Congress

A diathermic oil loop acts as heat carrier between turbine exhaust and the working fluid cyclopentane; the working fluid vaporizes and expands in the turbo expander which, coupled with the power generator, produces electricity. The fluid vapor then condenses, closing the loop. The Alliance Pipeline transports approximately 1.6
