CO₂ Capture and Co-Benefit Assessment

Understand the economic opportunities and co-benefits of any CO₂-emitting facility

Our CO₂NCORD software is used in our CO₂ Capture and Co-Benefit Assessment service, which analyzes capturable emissions, as well as costs, and health benefits associated with carbon capture.

What is CO₂NCORD?

The CO₂ National Capture Opportunities and Readiness Data (CO₂NCORD) enables users to identify sources of CO₂ (e.g., cement manufacturers, ethanol refineries) that could be profitably used for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. It provides the CO₂ capture cost, technology readiness level (TRL), and lifecycle CO₂ emissions of emission facilities across the country by integrating the latest public data and scientific research into a single end-user platform. Developing CO₂NCORD requires a novel integration of advances in multiple disciplines across five research objectives: 1) big data fusion, 2) CO₂ capture stream characterization, 3) life cycle assessment, 4) advanced techno-economics, and 5) software engineering.

What data sources do you consider?

While we use many data sources, some of the primary data sources we consider are the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) data, the EPA’s Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID), and the EIA’s Ethanol Plant Production Capacity report.

Can CO₂NCORD be used with other Carbon Solution tools?

CO₂NCORD can be used alone to determine the location of emissions sources relative to existing and proposed sites, or in conjunction with SimCCS^Pro to model the transportation network required to connect CO₂ emissions to storage sites.

Who should use CO₂NCORD?

CO₂NCORD helps industrial emitters, CO₂ pipeline developers, CO₂ storage owners, carbon capture providers, and researchers to identify capturable CO₂ and screen for low-cost capture within an area of their choice. This allows for both in-depth assessment of a small area and national assessment of capturable sources. Additionally, CO₂NCORD performs a preliminary LCA analysis of installing carbon capture, which can help decision makers to optimize their decarbonization approach.

What kind of capture technology is used in CO₂NCORD?

CO₂NCORD currently evaluates capturable CO₂ and the likely cost per tonne from the perspective of installing amine-based carbon capture. However, other technologies are likely to be considered in the future.

Design Development and System Integration Design Study for an Advanced Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Power Plant

CONSOL Energy is designing an advanced carbon-negative power plant that runs on waste coal and biomass, with the potential to be demonstrated in the next 5–10 years and achieve market penetration by 2030. CONSOL previously completed a conceptual design and pre-FEED study for a ~300 MWnet advanced power plant using pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) technology. This project will advance the end-to-end development of the advanced PFBC technology, including plant design, host site development, environmental considerations, CO2 disposition strategy, energy equity, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assesment. The project will provide a roadmap for decision-makers, investors, engineers, construction contractors, and other stakeholders to build this first-of-a-kind powerplant.
