Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Power Generation??? Southern Rock Energy Partners’ next generation crude refinery will include a hydrogen complex with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to capture supercritical CO2. Could the supercritical CO2 be utilized to generate emissions free power??? And then recaptured and repurposed into carbon neutral eFuels, consumed in the food and beverage industry, and/or injected for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and sequestration. Is supercritical CO2 power generation commercialized? Or able to be commercialized? Generate 675MW? Southern Rock Energy Partners seeks technology providers and strategic partners to support the next generation crude refinery and advance the supercritical CO2 power generation technology. #phase1 #electric #electricgeneration #supercriticalCO2 #carbondioxide #CO2 #emissionsfree #power #powergeneration #nextgeneration

Exciting advancements in hydrogen production for refineries! Methane pyrolysis, a sustainable method, reduces CO₂ emissions by converting CH₄ into C and H₂. This process, requiring high temperatures, offers various reactor types such as thermal, catalytic, and molten media reactors for efficient hydrogen production. Efficiency metrics like thermal efficiency, Faradaic efficiency, and carbon conversion efficiency play crucial roles. Key technical challenges include high temperature requirements, reactor material durability, and solid carbon management. To overcome these challenges, the integration of renewable energy sources and heat recovery systems is essential. In refineries, methane pyrolysis can be integrated into hydrogen production units, waste heat utilization, and carbon management processes. By leveraging advanced materials, efficient designs, and renewable energy, refineries can effectively address the challenges associated with methane pyrolysis, paving the way for a more sustainable hydrogen production process. #HydrogenProduction #Refineries #Sustainability #MethanePyrolysis #RenewableEnergy #CarbonManagement

Pre-Combustion Capture: A Promising (But Complex) Approach for Cleaner Power Plants Traditionally, capturing carbon emissions happens after fuel is burned (post-combustion capture). Pre-combustion capture offers an alternative for gas turbine power plants, potentially leading to cleaner energy generation. **Here's the gist:** * Fuel (natural gas or coal) reacts with air/oxygen to create a gas rich in CO and H2 (syngas). * Syngas is then converted with steam to produce a mixture of CO2 and H2. * The CO2 is captured and separated, leaving clean H2 fuel for the power plant. **Benefits:** * Highly efficient power generation (gas turbine combined cycle). * Significant CO2 capture rates (over 85% possible). **Challenges:** * Technology is complex and not yet commercially widespread for coal-fired plants. * Different processes exist for slurry and dry feed gasification. * Requires additional equipment like CO2-shift converters and solvent capture units. **Overall, pre-combustion capture has the potential to be a game-changer for cleaner fossil fuel power plants. However, further development and cost reduction are crucial for wider adoption.** #precombustioncapture #cleancoal #powerplants #carboncapture #sustainability

#NEWS on #carboncapture development: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s National Energy Technology Laboratory announced that new #carboncapture and storage (#CCS) technology for use with #naturalgas plants will soon be shipped to the US National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) in Alabama for testing for use in large natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) plants. This specific technology approach, developed by CORMETECH, captures #carbondioxide from #naturalgas combined-cycle point sources, and is designed to capture at least 95% of #carbondioxide from the flue gas of NGCC #powerplants. The CORMETECH project was among 12 projects awarded a total of $45 million in federal funding to advance point-source #CCS technologies that can capture at least 95% of #carbonemissions generated from natural gas #power and #industrial facilities.
