Large Pilot Testing – Advanced Post Combustion CO2 Capture Technology; Springfield, Illinois
DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) issued final DOE/EA-2128, which analyzes the potential environmental impacts of partially funding the proposed Large-Pilot Testing Facility Project at the City Water, Light and Power Facility, an existing coal-fired power plant in Springfield, Illinois. The project would involve the construction and two-year operation of a 10-megawatt-electric (MWe) carbon capture system based on the Linde-BASF advanced amine-based post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to demonstrate the technology’s scalability and commercial potential.
