8 Rivers and Siemens Energy Partner on Development Program of Carbon Capture Power Generation
2024年8月13日 - 9:00PM
8 Rivers Capital, LLC, a world-leading decarbonization technology
and project developer has embarked on the development of a
zero-emissions turbine that will create electricity (~270MWe) from
captured carbon dioxide with Siemens Energy, one of the world’s
leading energy technology companies.
Since the end of 2023, 8 Rivers and Siemens Energy have embarked
on development of direct-fired super critical CO2 turbines across a
range of applications and fuel types. The ongoing turbine
development program provides line of sight to future commercial
projects. Siemens Energy has selected the commercially available
generator that will be used with the AFC turbine and is leveraging
its technical and supply chain capabilities across the energy
spectrum to help aid the world in achieving its emission reduction
ambitions.
8 Rivers completed a study with a commercial party which
assessed the feasibility of a biomass fueled Allam-Fetvedt Cycle
(AFC) negative emissions power system (Biome). This has resulted in
the recent signing of an MoU with the aim of commercial deployment.
Biome as a power system allows for the generation of low-cost,
reliable, negative emissions power while simultaneously generating
large volumes of carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Additionally, this
announcement complements an earlier press release between 8 Rivers
and PacifiCorp for conducting a pre-FEED of a solid fuel AFC
zero-emissions power plant in Wyoming. Ahead of Gastech in Houston
September 17th – 20th, 8 Rivers and Siemens Energy are pleased to
announce their partnership on AFC development and AFC turbines.
“Siemens Energy’s network, industry know-how, and access to the
full clean energy supply chain will be crucial to our continued
efforts to demonstrate the feasibility of these platforms and lay
the foundation for their deployment at-scale around the world,”
said Damian Beauchamp, President & Chief Development Officer of
8 Rivers.
“The carbon negative power solutions that we are developing with
8 Rivers and additional project partners are creating a very
promising approach of generating utility scale clean energy,” said
Joern Schmuecker, Senior Vice President at Siemens Energy’s Gas
Services business area.
The partnership will enable 8 Rivers to benefit from Siemens
Energy’s proven global network and engineering know-how. Siemens
Energy will also provide key equipment including generation,
services, compression and grid technologies.
