The power project, which will be constructed just west of Midland-Odessa, combines integrated gasification combined-cycle power generation, urea production, and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilization and storage technology.
DOE said that the ROD and cooperative agreement between its Office of Fossil Energy (FE) and Summit Texas Clean Energy sets in motion continued federal cost-shared funding for the Summit Texas Clean Energy Project.
The project, managed by FE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, will be partially funded with $450m from DOE’s Clean Coal Power Initiative.
The plant will generate power by converting subbituminous coal into hydrogen-rich synthesis gas and CO2.
The facility will integrate Siemens IGCC technology and Linde Rectisol acid-gas capture technology to capture 90% of the CO2 from its syngas.
