DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Public Meeting of the Supercritical CO2 Oxy-Combustion
Technology Group
AGENCY: National Energy Technology Laboratory, Office of Fossil Energy,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will host a
public meeting via WebEx July 9, 2019, of the Supercritical
CO2 Oxy-combustion Technology Group, to address challenges
associated with oxy-combustion systems in directly heated supercritical
CO2 (sCO2) power cycles.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on July 9, 2019, from 1 p.m. to
3 p.m. ET.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held via WebEx and hosted by
NETL.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information regarding the
public meeting, please contact Seth Lawson by email at
[email protected], or by postal mail addressed to National
Energy Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins Ferry Road, P.O. Box 880,
Morgantown, WV 26507-0880. Please direct all media inquiries to the
NETL Public Affairs Officer at (304) 285-0228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Instructions and Information on the Public Meeting
The public meeting will be held via WebEx. The public meeting will
begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. Interested parties may RSVP, to
confirm their participation and receive login instructions, by emailing
[email protected].
The objective of the Supercritical CO2 Oxy-combustion
Technology Group is to promote a technical understanding of oxy-
combustion for direct-fired sCO2 power cycles by sharing
information or viewpoints from individual participants regarding risk
reduction and challenges associated with developing the technology.
Oxy-combustion systems in directly heated supercritical
CO2 (SCO2) power cycles utilize natural gas or
syngas oxy-combustion systems to produce a high temperature
SCO2 working fluid and have the potential to be efficient,
cost effective and well-suited for carbon dioxide (CO2)
capture. To realize the benefits of direct fired SCO2 power
cycles, the following challenges must be addressed: Chemical kinetic
uncertainties, combustion instability, flowpath design, thermal
management, pressure containment, definition/prediction of turbine
inlet conditions, ignition, off-design operation, transient
capabilities, in-situ flame monitoring, and modeling, among others.
The format of the meeting will facilitate equal opportunity for
discussion among all participants; all participants will be welcome to
speak. Following a detailed presentation by one volunteer participant
regarding lessons learned from his or her area of research, other
participants will be provided the opportunity to briefly share lessons
learned from their own research. Meetings are expected to take place
every other month with a different volunteer presenting at each
meeting.
