A Next Generation Carbon Capturing Power Plant Is Running
As A 30 mW Pilot Plant In La Porte, Texas.
Toshiba's 300 megaWatt (mW) production version of this
plant is due out in 2021. 300 mW is a large plant. It's not too
early to begin identifying sites, peripherals, and supply logistics.
It's running as a 1/10 size pilot plant
to discover the "unknown unknowns" - is anything going to fail way early?
- Can
operators operate it 24/7/365? - It has components that have no proven
predecessor device. - What will happen when they fail? - How do you restart it hot?
-
Hell, how do you start it cold?
A practical key for unlocking massive
amounts of negative CO2 for removing Climate Change from the air is the recently-invented supercritical CO2 ALLAM CYCLE.

What is really neat about the
newly-invented CO2-driven Allam Cycle engine is that it is a
fossil-fuel engine that keeps it's emission chemicals separate - they come out in
different pipes: CO2 gas, Nitrogen gas, Argon gas, and tons of Liquid Water.
