DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Recurring Public Meetings of the Supercritical CO2 Oxy-
combustion Technology Group
AGENCY: National Energy Technology Laboratory, Office of Fossil Energy,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of recurring public meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will host a
public meeting via WebEx October 8, 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 next public meeting will be held on October 8, 2019, from
1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET. NETL plans to hold meetings every two
months. Future meetings will be announced on the Event page of the NETL
website: https://netl.doe.gov/events.
ADDRESSES: The public meetings will be held via WebEx and hosted by
NETL.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Instructions and Information on the Public Meetings
The public meetings will be held via WebEx. The next public meeting
on 10/8/2019 will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. NETL plans to
hold meetings every two months. Future meetings will be announced on
the Event page of the NETL website: https://netl.doe.gov/events

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 meetings 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. Meeting minutes shall be published for those who are unable to
attend.
These meetings are considered ``open-to-the-public;'' the purpose
for these meetings has been examined during the planning stages, and
NETL management has made specific determinations that affect
attendance. All information presented at these meetings must meet
criteria for public sharing or be published and available in the public
domain. Participants should not communicate information that is
considered official use only, proprietary, sensitive, restricted or
protected in any way. Foreign nationals, who may be present, have not
been approved for access to DOE information and technologies.
