Sentences with phrase «carbon capture facility at»

In cooperation with AEP, the French company Alstom unveiled the world's largest carbon capture facility at a coal plant, so called «clean coal,» which will store around 100,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide a year 2,1 kilometers (7,200 feet) underground.

Not exact matches

View a slide show of the world's first carbon capture and storage facility in operation The small stream of flue gas travels to the carbon - capture unit through plastic pipes reinforced with fiberglass and is cooled to between — 1 and 21 degrees Celsius from the 55 - degree C temperature at which it emerges from the other environmental technology add - ons that strip out the fly ash, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Oil prices at $ 100 per barrel are already well above the $ 40 per barrel level at which synfuel producing facilities break even, and even the $ 70 per barrel level that might make carbon capture economically feasible.

Placing carbon capture at these industrial facilities is significantly cheaper than general air capture and reduces emissions from the single largest sources of CO2.

Norway's government on Friday terminated a full - scale project to capture carbon dioxide at the Mongstad refinery on the country's western coast, citing high risks connected to the facility.

For carbon capture facilities near oilfields, the possibility of selling carbon dioxide for use in enhanced oil recovery — even at a lower credit rate — will likely yield higher returns than other types of carbon storage, making it an enticing option.

Historically, direct air capture has been largely framed as overwhelmingly expensive or impractical at commercial scale by carbon capture experts, due to the challenge of capturing the dilute CO2 in the air (exhaust streams of power plants and other industrial facilities like oil refineries, steel mills, and cement plants have much more concentrated CO2 steams).

[1] The Clean Energy Standard Act of 2012 defines «clean» electricity as «electricity generated at a facility placed in service after 1991 using renewable energy, qualified renewable biomass, natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power, or qualified waste - to - energy; and electricity generated at a facility placed in service after enactment that uses qualified combined heat and power (CHP), [which] generates electricity with a carbon - intensity lower than 0.82 metric tons per megawatt - hour (the equivalent of new supercritical coal), or [electricity generated] as a result of qualified efficiency improvements or capacity additions at existing nuclear or hydropower facilities -LSB-; or] electricity generated at a facility that captures and stores its carbon dioxide emissions.»

(1) deployment of technologies to capture and sequester carbon dioxide emissions from electric generating units or large industrial sources (except that assistance under this subtitle for such deployment shall be limited to the cost of retrofitting existing facilities with such technologies or the incremental cost of purchasing and installing such technologies at new facilities);

The term qualified coal - to - liquid facility means a manufacturing facility that has the capacity to produce at least 10,000 barrels per day of transportation grade liquid fuels from a feedstock that is primarily domestic coal (including peat and any property which allows for the capture, transportation, or sequestration of by - products resulting from such process, including carbon emissions).

But if you look at the details of that, the capture storage facilities, transport facilities, would probably be different places than the fossil fuel carbon capture storage.

The CCS project was started last October at the plant near New Haven, W.Va., in an attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of capturing carbon from a coal - fired generation facility.

Not one of the few specific actionable proposals (such as the WWF proposal to replace all fossil fuel fired plants with renewables or Hansen's proposal to shut down all coal - fired power plants or a proposal posted here by Bridges to install carbon capturing + sequestering facilities on half of all new coal plants) result in any perceptible reduction in global warming by 2100, all at exorbitant cost.

Sure, carbon until recently carried a price at $ 15 a tonne, but since that price only applied to emissions over-and-above established intensity targets at 100 or so industrial facilities (oil sands, power plants, chemical plants, etc.), it didn't capture a whole lot.

The credit would become effective for new power production facilities after January 1, 2017, although after 2016 a 20 percent credit would be available for existing facilities that retrofit to capture at least 50 percent of carbon dioxide emissions.
