21st Century Power Plant

Project Overview

Title: 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 assessment, and lifecycle analysis. The project will provide a roadmap for decision-makers, investors, engineers, construction contractors, and other stakeholders to construct a prototype plant.

Carbon Solutions is applying our SimCCS^PRO software to guide the CO₂ disposition strategy for the project, including performing market assessments of CO₂ capture, transport, and storage opportunities, CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) feasibility analysis, lifecycle analysis, and CCS infrastructure design.
