Description
The integration of Southern Company subsidiary Alabama Power’s James M. Barry Electric power plant with Linde’s Gen 2 carbon capture solution based on BASF’s OASE® blue gas treatment technology. The project should capture approximately 95 percent of carbon dioxide emissions generated.
The project received $5m in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management in 2022.
Southern Company subsidiary Alabama Power’s James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant is located in Bucks, Alabama. It is powered by two GE 7F.04 gas turbines, part of GE’s 7F gas turbine fleet.
The project also includes gas and steam turbine equipment enhancements to improve the carbon capture process, with a goal of reducing the impact of the carbon capture process on the power plant’s output, performance, and equipment cost.
