The post NETL: Coal Chemical Looping Combustion Closer to Commercialization appeared first on POWER Magazine.

Chemical looping combustion (CLC), an advanced coal power technology that could markedly simplify carbon capture at power plants, has moved significantly closer to commercialization, owing to a breakthrough in oxygen carrier durability, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) said.    The national laboratory, which is part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), revealed on […]

Coal Unit CCUS Retrofits More Economic Than Many Alternatives, NETL Study Suggests

Credit to Author: Sonal Patel| Date: Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:37:33 +0000

Adding carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to two Xcel coal units in Colorado that are slated to be retired by 2025 would push up the cost of power if compared with replacement with wind/storage hybrids. But CCUS, which generates revenues, would still work out to be cheaper than other alternatives mandated under the company’s […]
