Description
A commercial-scale NET Power plant by 8 Rivers Capital in the City of Estevan
NET Power’s Allam-Fetvedt cycle technology combusts natural gas with oxygen, as opposed to air, and uses supercritical carbon dioxide as a working fluid to drive the turbine and produce zero emissions electricity. This cycle can hit the same efficiency of a traditional power plant while capturing all of its CO2 and eliminating all air pollutants. As the inventor of the Allam-Fetvedt cycle, 8 Rivers is ideally situated to partner with Estevan to hit their energy and economic goals.
Its design is based on the NET Power system, which combusts fuel with oxygen, as opposed to air, and uses supercritical carbon dioxide as a working fluid to drive a turbine instead of steam. This eliminates all emissions, including air pollution and CO2, and inherently produces pipeline-quality CO2 that can be sequestered.
