Development of Self-Assembly Isoporous Supports Enabling Transformational Membrane Performance for Cost-Effective Carbon Capture

Membrane Technology and Research, Inc. (MTR) is developing composite membranes with superior carbon capture performance using a novel transformational approach. Two membrane targets have been identified: (1) carbon dioxide (CO2) permeance of 4,000 gas permeation units (GPU) with mixed-gas CO2/nitrogen (N2) selectivity of 25, and (2) CO2 permeance of 3,000 GPU with mixed-gas selectivity of 50. The first type will be used in the CO2 removal step and the second type will be used in the CO2 sweep step, both of which are parts of MTR’s innovative post-combustion CO2 capture process.

Initial Engineering Design of a Post-Combustion CO2 Capture System for Duke Energy's East

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will produce an initial engineering design and cost estimate of a first-of-a-kind, full-scale, membrane-based post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system retrofit to an existing U.S. coal power plant. The capture technology is provided by Membrane Technology and Research (MTR), and the power plant is Duke Energy’s East Bend Station (EBS) located on the Ohio River in Kentucky. The primary objective is to develop a design that will minimize the impact on the power plant by disrupting as little of the existing facilities as possible, minimizing the cost of each tonne of captured CO2 while also maintaining the net 600 megawatt (MW) output of EBS. This will be done by optimizing the percentage of CO2 captured from the coal-fired power plant (expected to be somewhere between 45 and 75% of the total CO2 in the flue gas). The initial phase will also examine options for integrating waste heat from the new combustion turbine (CT) with the existing coal plant in order to improve the thermal efficiency of the coal-fired unit. Once an optimal configuration is selected, an engineering design, sufficient in detail to support a +/-30% capital cost estimate, will be generated, along with a techno-economic analysis (TEA).

NETL CO2U LCA Guidance Toolkit Version 2.1

Life cycle analysis (LCA) is an environmental assessment method for accounting for the environmental burdens from the extraction of raw materials from the earth to production and use of the product to perform a specific function for society. LCA is the analysis technique used by the U.S. DOE Carbon Utilization Program (formerly known as the “Carbon Use and Reuse Program”) to determine if a project will result in lower life cycle greenhouse gas emissions in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) than the current state-of-the-art option on the market. This knowledge is combined with economic and market performance data, technical risk evaluations, and other criteria to evaluate project merit.

Electrochemically Mediated Amine Regeneration in CO2 Scrubbing Processes

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is advancing a novel carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology using traditional amine-based solvents, but with the key innovation of using electrochemical regeneration of the solvent instead of conventional thermal regeneration. By utilizing cost-effective reduction/oxidation of metal ions to electrochemically enable the capture and release of CO2 by traditional amine sorbents and thereby eliminating the demand for steam characteristic of conventional amine regeneration technology, the parasitic power requirement for operating the process is expected to be markedly less than that of conventional methods. This should enable substantial savings in the cost of electricity (COE) for carbon capture process scenarios, with promise to meet programmatic U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) carbon capture goals.

Offshore CO2 Storage Resource Assessment of the Northern Gulf of Mexico

The objective of this project was to conduct a carbon storage resource assessment of depleted oil and gas reservoirs in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM), specifically an area offshore Texas and Louisiana. Within that area, the project focused on a smaller, geologically representative area close to major sources and existing pipeline infrastructure. The project identified at least one specific site that could be considered for a future commercial or integrated demonstration project with the ability to store at least 30 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2.

Historic Submarine Landslides in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

This dataset provides a set of polygons representing the zone of depletion for historic submarine landslides (also referred to as mass transport deposits) within four regions of the US Exclusive Economic Zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Landslides were digitized by geologists and spatial scientists at the National Energy Technology Laboratory by visually interpreting landslide boundaries from a seismic-derived, high resolution bathymetric hillshade provided by the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM, 2017). A portion of the landslide features are derived from other spatial sources including the Seismic Water Anomalies dataset by BOEM (2016) as well as from McAdoo et al., 2000 and Twichell et al, 2005. The scale that landslides depletion areas can be interpreted at is limited by the spatial resolution of the gridded bathymetry, which is 12.192 meters (BOEM, 2017). For each landslide feature in the dataset, geometry metrics were calculated including geodesic area (km2) and geodesic perimeter (km) using the North America Albers Equal Area Conic projected coordinate system. The same geometry metrics were calculated for the four inventory regions.

The technical goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive database of mechanical properties, alloy microstructures, and to a lesser extent, the oxidation/corrosion behavior of coal-fired power plant components, such as boiler tubing, steam headers and steam piping, which have been in long-term service (at least 100,000 operating hours, and preferably more than 200,000 operating hours) under the operating conditions of high temperatures and high mechanical stresses where creep, fatigue, steam-side oxidation, and fireside corrosion are life-limiting factors. The components included in the database will include the following types of high temperature alloys: creep strength enhanced ferritic (CSEF) steels, 300-series H-grade stainless steels, and dissimilar metal welds (DMWs).

Robust and Energy Efficient Dual Stage Membrane Based Process for Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Recovery

The Media and Process Technology Inc. (MPT) project objective has been to develop a dual-stage membrane-based process (DSMP) for pre-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant. The process utilizes MPT hydrogen (H2)-selective carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes, in conjunction with conventional water gas shift (WGS) reactors, in the first stage for enhanced production and bulk recovery of H2. Following cold gas clean-up, a palladium alloy-based membrane is used in the second stage for efficient residual hydrogen recovery from the high-pressure CO2 gas stream just prior to sequestration.

Lab-Scale Development of a Hybrid Capture System with Advanced Membrane, Solvent System, and Process Integration

Liquid Ion Solutions LLC, with Penn State University and Carbon Capture Scientific (CCS), LLC, will develop and validate a transformational hybrid membrane/solvent system for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gas. The hybrid technology is a two-stage CO2 capture system combining a membrane separation process and an absorption/stripping process with heat integration between the absorption column and stripping column through a heat pump cycle. Process air is used to sweep the stripper, resulting in much lower regeneration temperatures and enabling heat integration to the point that no process steam is required. To reduce capital cost, a next-generation membrane technology with higher permeance will be developed.
