Abstract

This first-of-its-kind, large-scale pilot is vital to the carbon capture knowledge base and experience. It will also serve as a reference for future commercial projects and provide critical design and operations information needed to scale-up the technology for commercial implementation, while minimizing costs and risks. The pilot is a 10 MWe slipstream taken from Dallman #4 at City Water, Light, and Power (CWLP) in Springfield, Illinois. The post-combustion capture technology being demonstrated is the Linde/BASF advanced capture system, which has been previously demonstrated at the National Carbon Capture Center at a 1.5 MWe level. The successful construction and operation of this plant will provide a means to demonstrate an economically attractive and transformational capture technology that can be used to retrofit existing plants and be deployed at new plants. The regional economic benefit and the ability to repurpose some exiting workforce at CWLP will also demonstrate how carbon capture can aid regional economies when it is deployed. If the technology performs as planned, the capture plant will remain in place and be utilized for future testing of capture and utilization technologies.
