SimWIND: Software to Support Wind Siting and Environmental Challenges
This project is developing a new software package, called SimWIND, to support wind energy planning by balancing (1) natural resource and societal impacts and other environmental factors, (2) wind power generation potential (i.e., wind-generated electricity at any given site), (3) transmission planning and routing, and (4) integration into the electric grid.
MRCI: Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative
The Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) is a broad coalition of partners dedicated to accelerating the deployment of CCS technologies in the Midwest and Northeastern United States.
CUSP: Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership of the Western United States
The Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP) of the Western United States is a US Department of Energy-funded Regional Initiative established to accelerate onshore CO2capture and storage (CCS) technology deployment in the western region of the US.
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.
Webinar: National Industrial Sector Decarbonization
The primary objective of the Uinta Basin CarbonSAFE phase II project is to establish the technical and economic feasibility of a commercial-scale CO2 geological storage complex in the northeast Uinta Basin, Utah, to sequester at least 50 million metric tons of captured CO2 securely and economically from the Deseret Power Electric Cooperative Bonanza Power Plant and other sources in 30 years.
