Being revised for ONLY a Syngas powered Toshiba 300 mW(e) Allam Cycle BECCS Electricity Power Plant

          Introduction to this page:
What: Once a suitable unneeded coal power plant site is found, it needs to be re-equipped into a Renewable Biosynfuel Factory. The coal storage lot and most coal handling equipment - except for the rotary railroad coal car dumper and coal conveyor - is removed .
Where: Often located in the rural periphery of a metropolitan area.
When:
Why: 
How: First, a small scale pilot plant. Then a full scale prototype plant. Then a final design for mass replication.

Engineering An Allam Cycle BioEnergy and Carbon Capture Electricity Plant

The coal power plant the author has in mind is a relatively new small single 180 megaWatt unit located in a rural portion of a Northern Midwest state.

Typical small-to-medium size coal power plant that could be considered for repurposing into a Renewable Biosynfuel Factory.

It is being repurposed into a "Cleaner Energy" park.  https://michiganhub.com/ 

Footnotes & Links

Generator buildings are clearly defined by local and national building and electrical codes, supplemented by constraints from the relevant equipment manufacturers.

At first, your author thought that simply converting coal burning boilers to submarine-like steam generators would be a fast and cheap way to decarbonize the generation of electricity. 

Not so, as this paper points out:  The Hook-ons.pdf   

It now looks like the new kid on the block, the Allam Cycle, has a good chance of blowing EVERYTHING into bankruptcy.  3a Natural Gas or Oil Allam Cycle CCS Power Plant
