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. Smaller size and increased efficiency can lead to lower costs and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

The selected projects now enter a second phase in which researchers design, construct, and operate their innovations at pilot-scale and evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of applying them commercially. Hawaii Electric Company will qualify the biocrude for boiler use, and Tesoro will supply CO 2 and evaluate fuel products.
