CO2 cycle

CO2 cycle replaces the classical water steam cycle. The Allam cycle technology burns natural gas with pure oxygen. The resulting CO2 is recycled through the combustor, turbine, heat exchanger, and compressor, creating lower-cost power with zero emissions. The main advantage is the ‘Free’ CO2 capture which is ready for use as? a resource rather than a waste.

NET Power has constructed a 50 MW demonstrator plant in Texas that is up and running, with plans to bring a full-scale 300 MW plant into service in 2025. The success of its zero-emissions natural-gas power plant has opened the way for NET Power to plan the construction of similar plants around the world. Few additional players are involved in this field. Toshiba, Parametric solutions, SwRI (South West Research Institute), the Gas Turbine Institute and GE are working together to design of a CO2 turbine. ? Lastly, the potential for captured CO2 in industry is growing: companies are pioneering new ways to use CO2 in concrete and cement production, fertilizer production, e-methanol,? e-jetfuel, e-methane...
