Team Claims New Power Cycle Generates Without Emissions

摘要

Nearing completion in Texas, a 50-MW power plant will demonstrate a first-of-a-kind natural-gas power system. Its developer claims the system, which uses supercritical carbon-dioxide working fluid, will produce low-cost electricity with zero atmospheric emissions. With the plant 90% complete, developers already are pushing ahead with plans for a 295-MW commercial facility, whose technology they expect to be validated.
