NET Power is developing a new process for capturing carbon emissions from a natural gas generating station.
, based in Durham, North Carolina, has developed a new way to make electricity by burning natural gas that it says is cheaper than conventional gas generation. That’s good news, sort of, but the real benefit of the new Allam cycle technology is that it captures its own carbon dioxide emissions, which can then be sequestered or sold. The net result is electricity from natural gas or renewable gas that doesn’t spew carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere.
A gas-fired generating plant with no carbon emissions could deliver reliable power when solar or wind generation falters. In other words, this technology could permit so-called “peaker plants” that don’t pollute, or at least not as much as traditional facilities.
