National Carbon Capture Center

The objective of this project is to develop technologies under realistic conditions that will reduce the cost of advanced coal-fueled power plants with CO₂ capture. This technology development will include the design, procurement, construction, installation, and operation of a flexible facility for the testing of processes for pre-combustion CO₂ capture, post-combustion CO₂ capture and oxy-combustion. Components and systems that are appropriate for inclusion in the detailed test plan will be identified in collaboration with NETL. In addition to evaluating DOE sponsored projects; projects from industry, universities, and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will be evaluated to assist in accomplishing the project objectives.
