AGENDA A Carbon-Constrained World: Challenges and Opportunities Transforming Carbon from Waste to Asset Technology Snapshot: CO2 Conversion to Liquid Fuels X PRIZE and New NRECA Multi-G&T Membership
Presenter Dale T Bradshaw Technical Liaison to CRN’s Generation, Fuels, and Environment Membership Advisory Group and Contractor to NRECA
A Paradigm Shift Around Emissions of CO2 From Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) – Carbon Capture costs appear to be very expensive and dramatically increases fossil plant parasitic loads – Geologic Sequestration has unknown costs, unknown geologic consequences, and unknown liabilities To Carbon Capture and Recycle (CCR) – High carbon capture costs can be more than offset by high value for recycle and utilization of carbon as chemicals or liquid hydrocarbon fuels
Transforming Carbon from Waste to Asset The Goal: Validate at a commercial scale new technologies and products that make capturing CO2 from coal plants a revenue stream, not a liability. Additional competitions may be launched including CO2 utilization from natural gas-fired production streams. Led by Tri-State G&T. Sunflower Electric Power Co-op is a founding member. $10M purse for winning competitor
CO2 Utilization-Massive Market Opportunity
CO2 Utilization Technologies
Technology Snapshot Potential Technologies for CO2 Conversion to Liquid Fuels
Converting CO2 Using High Temperature Co-Electrolysis (HTCE) CO2 and high temperature steam from Fossil Plant input to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Plus Electricity from Grid, Wind, and/or Solar Output is Green gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, and Oxygen Oxygen can be input for retrofit fossil plants for Oxycombustion Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Oxygen used for Oxycombustion 13
Oxy-Combustion with CO2 Utilization X Pure Oxygen HTCE Unit Chemical Plant Syngas as Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide 14
Use of Syngas from HTCE and Oxycombustion
ECOCAP Catalytic Gasification Bevin Reactor with Conversion of 12 K tons CO2 Plus Coal to Petroleum Products CO2 Steam Coal 50 to 65% ROI with oil at $75/BBl. 50,000 BBl/day Bevin Reactor ($1.125 Billion/year) will consume 5 million tons of CO2. 250 of these reactors will consume 50% of the US CO2
ECOCAP Conversion of 13K Tons CO2 per Day to Liquid Fuels Using Natural Gas Feed
Competition Criteria The Tri-State Carbon X PRIZE will stimulate technology innovation to create value from captured CO 2 to help solve our energy challenge… $10 million prize Prize Ongoing carbon capture and recycling contract for top contenders Capture and recycle at least 80 percent of the CO 2 provided Winning Create the highest commercial value from the recycled carbon Criteria Not exceed maximum thresholds for water and energy use Time 4 years Frame
