Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Clean Coal Power Initiative Power Plant Improvement Initiative Clean Coal Technology Development Program FutureGen The current project portfolio contains a variet y of technologies that incorporate advanced, clean, efficient coal-based power systems. Se veral of the projects include power systems integrated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, while one existing power plant will be retrofitted with CCS technology. Two of these projects will also produce high-value chemicals (poly-generation). These projects will demonstrate diversity in technology for both the power generation and carbon capture systems.

The power system portions of these demonstrat ions include gasification technology from TrigTM (Southern Company), Siemens (Summit Te xas Clean Energy), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Hydrogen Energy California). The carbon capture systems will include Linde’s Rectisol System (Summit Texas Clean Energy and Hydrogen Energy California) and Fluor’s Econamine FG Plus SM (NRG Energy). The CO 2 captured in three of the projects (Summit Texas Clean Energy, Hydrogen Energy California, and NRG Energy) will be stored through use in enhanced oil recovery.

The Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) program was initia ted in 2002 to address an array of domestic and global energy issues through a series of on-going demonstrations. The mission of the CCPI is to enable and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies to ensure clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for the United States. The CCPI is a cost-shared partnership between the government and industry to develop and demonstrate advanced co al-based power generation techno logies at the commercial scale. CCPI demonstrations address the reliability and affordability of the nation's electricity supply, particularly from its coal-based generation. CCPI demonstrations will meet technical requirements set forth in th e Energy Policy Act of 2005. The status of the CCPI projects is summarized as follows: Complete: 4 Active: 4 Withdrawn: 7 Discontinued: 2 Negotiations Ceased: 1 Negotiations: 0 Total Projects: 18 A list of all projects selected in the program to date is provided below with a link to the project's information page. If a project was not completed and/or no documents are available, no information page is associated with the project.
