CUSP: Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership of the Western United States
The Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP) of the Western United States is a US Department of Energy-funded Regional Initiative established to accelerate onshore CO2capture and storage (CCS) technology deployment in the western region of the US.
Design Development and System Integration Design Study for an Advanced Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Power Plant
CONSOL Energy is designing an advanced carbon-negative power plant that runs on waste coal and biomass, with the potential to be demonstrated in the next 5–10 years and achieve market penetration by 2030. CONSOL previously completed a conceptual design and pre-FEED study for a ~300 MWnet advanced power plant using pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) technology. This project will advance the end-to-end development of the advanced PFBC technology, including plant design, host site development, environmental considerations, CO2 disposition strategy, energy equity, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assesment. The project will provide a roadmap for decision-makers, investors, engineers, construction contractors, and other stakeholders to build this first-of-a-kind powerplant.
SEEJust: Siting Hydrogen for Equity and Energy Justice
This tool allows site developers, industry, community members, and environmental justice advocates to look at the same data at all stages or project planning in one place. SEEJust will help raise awareness and integrate community benefits at the beginning of the project.
