GTC 2014 28 October 2014 1 | Allam Cycle Flexible Integration of the sCO2 Allam Cycle with Coal Gasification for Low-Cost, Emission-Free Electricity Generation GTC 2014 Dr. Xijia Lu, 8 Rivers Capital Contains the intellectual property of 8 Rivers Capital. GTC 2014 28 October 2014 2 | Allam Cycle Allam Cycle: A new opportunity for truly clean, low cost coal power Patented, oxy-fuel, high-pressure, sCO2 cycle invented and developed by 8 Rivers Capital Major performance, cost and environmental benefits vs. non-capture systems ? Higher gross output leads to high net efficiencies with full carbon capture ? Simpler cycle significantly reduces cost ? No air emissions. Capture inherent to the semi-closed loop process Core process being demonstrated with NET Power’s 50MWth gas-fired power plant ? NET Power is collaborating with 8 Rivers, Exelon, CBI and Toshiba ? 50MWth FEED study and full combustor testing both complete. ? $140M program is fully-funded and underway. Commissioning in 2016. Coal cycle builds on the core natural gas development program ? Same process fueled by a coal gasifier ? Two feasibility studies completed with UK DECC, Lignite Energy Council, ALLETE/Minnesota Power, Dakota Gasification, EPRI and Progressive Energy Ltd. ? Further development, including syngas combustor program, now underway Contains the intellectual property of 8 Rivers Capital. GTC 2014 28 October 2014
