Renewables are expanding quickly but not enough to satisfy a strong rebound in global electricity demand this year, resulting in a sharp rise in the use of coal power that risks pushing carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector to record levels next year, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.

CPS Energy of San Antonio has signed a Power Purchase Agreement for approximately 200 MW of power from the Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP), located just west of Midland-Odessa. The agreement marks the first US purchase by a utility of low-carbon power from a commercial-scale, coal-based power plant utilizing carbon capture.

The technology in the demo—the first of its kind operating at such a large scale—has not been accomplished anywhere else in the United States. Air Products’ carbon capture project in Port Arthur, Texas captures 90% of the CO 2 via Vacuum Swing Adsorption from 2 steam-methane reformers (SMRs) yielding 1,000,000 tons CO 2 /year.

American Electric Power is terminating its cooperative agreement with the US Department of Energy and placing its plans to advance carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology to commercial scale on hold, citing the current uncertain status of US climate policy and the continued weak economy as contributors to the decision.

million tons per year of CO2 will begin in 2015, and the demonstration project will end in 2019. It will also reduce the risk associated with commercial deployment of CCS technology by reducing CO 2 capture costs compared to conventional post-combustion capture systems. The CAP technology was first tested at 1.7

Continued fuel economy improvement in vehicles using other alternative fuels, gasoline, and diesel, combined with growth in the use of hybrid technologies (including micro, mild, full, and plug-in hybrid vehicles), limit the use of electric vehicles over the projection. Overall findings. mpg in 2025.

The paper is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. GHG emissions reduction) rather than specific technologies are generally preferred. Among the findings were that: delayed charging (i.e., in other regions the lowest emitting vehicle depends on charge timing and emission factor estimation assumptions.
