A high tech, energy efficient supercritical carbon dioxide power plant is taking shape behind the walls of this modest building in Texas.
A high tech supercritical carbon dioxide power plant is taking shape behind the walls of a modest building in Texas, with the potential to lower the cost of concentrating solar power systems.
The Energy Department anticipates that new supercritical carbon dioxide turbines can shave energy consumption at power plants by 10%, but that’s just for starters. They have a much smaller footprint than their steam-driven cousins, resulting in manufacturing efficiencies all along the supply chain. The potential for more efficient carbon capture at fossil-fueled power plants is another aspect of the technology that has attracted attention from the Energy Department.
