The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding up to $80 million for a six-year project to design, build, and operate a 10-MWe (megawatts electrical) supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) pilot plant test facility in San Antonio, TX. This, in turn, decreases CO 2 emissions and operating costs. Drawing of sCO 2 plant.
