The Allam-Fetvedt Cycle is a new type of power cycle that takes a novel approach to emissions reduction. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design. Clean Power: transformative zero-emissions power cycles.
