B&W Captures CO2 in Coal-Fired Pilot Plant Tests

Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (B&W PGG) researchers have successfully captured carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a pilot-scale, coal-fired boiler using advanced solvents and a proprietary CO2-capture process developed at the company’s research center in Barberton, Ohio. B&W PGG is an operating unit of The Babcock & Wilcox Company.
B&W PGG has conducted its [...]

Emissions Driving ICL Technology

Emissions Driving ICL Technology

Emissions Driving ICL Technology
Driven by electricity rather than gas ICL technology saves energy and avoids associated CO2 emissions. Using a typical 8 MW ICL rather than a comparably sized gas turbine-driven compressor can reduce CO2 emissions by 60% or more.
Introduced in 2007, integrated compressor line (ICL) technology from GE Oil & Gas is an integrated system [...]

Venezuela's Power System on Brink of Collapse March 1, 2010
Venezuela, a country that relies on hydropower for almost three-quarters of its electricity, has been battling a deepening electricity crisis since a drought in 2009 and a sudden 7% surge in demand brought the country’s power system to the brink of collapse.... […]
Peru: The Potential to Become a Regional Energy Hub March 1, 2010
Water and gas provide the energy for Peru’s power generation sector, and the country could generate considerably more, especially from hydro and wind. While the nation strives to extend electricity service to all its citizens, it’s also looking beyond its borders for potential future customers.... […]
Ethiopia's New Hydro Plant Boosts Region's Generating Capacity March 1, 2010
Ethiopia in mid-January officially inaugurated the 420-MW Gilgel Gibe II hydropower project, the second hydropower plant to be opened since November 2009, when the 300-MW Tekezé project began operations.... […]
Plant Efficiency: Begin with the Right Definitions February 1, 2010
The race is on to claim the title of "most efficient coal-fired power plant" on the planet. However, it’s tricky identifying finalists because of the widespread misuse of the term "efficiency" and all those nagging assumptions. Let’s first establish clear definitions and then identify the title contenders.... […]
