Generating Energy by consuming Carbon Dioxide

A new power plant in Texas,can generate energy by consuming carbon dioxide, for the first time.

NET Power is working in a new power system that generates lower-cost electricity from a form of carbon dioxide instead of steam.

Using  a patented thermodynamic cycle called the Allam Cycle, NET Power is able to generate lower-cost power from fossil fuels than existing power plants while eliminating all air emissions, including carbon dioxide.

Additionally, the CO₂ that NET Power plants generate from burning fuel is produced as a high-pressure, high-quality byproduct, ready for pipeline transportation and storage.  In many places, this CO₂ can be sold for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), permanently sequestering the CO₂ and providing significant added value for NET Power plant owners.
