DOE announces $11.5M in Phase 1 funding for carbon capture and storage program; ARPA-E FLECCS

Green Car Congress

Enhancing Responsiveness of Gas Turbine Generators through Retrofitting with Exhaust Gas Recycle and a Phase-Change CO 2 Capture Process - $1,178,453. Georgia Institute of Technology. Next, the CO2-rich gas (>30% CO 2 ) from the calciner is separated to recover high-purity CO 2 , which can be stored.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems introduces 63% efficient, 540MW JAC gas turbine; -70% CO2 compared to older coal-fired plants

Green Car Congress

The JAC maintains the long-standing features of a compressor shaft end drive, two-bearing rotor structure, axial flow exhaust, bolt-connected discs with torque pins on the compressor rotor and the CURVIC couplings on the turbine rotor discs. The MHPS JAC offers plant operators enhanced flexibility through the use of air cooling technology.

A DFC stack can thus be used as a carbon purification membrane—transferring CO 2 from a dilute oxidant stream to a more concentrated fuel exhaust stream, allowing the CO 2 to be easily and affordably removed for sequestration or industrial use. Most of the hydrogen is consumed in the anode power production reaction. Alstom Power Inc.
