A pilot project by We Energies, Alstom and The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) testing an Alstom advanced chilled ammonia process ( earlier post ) has demonstrated more than 90% capture of carbon dioxide from the flue stream of a coal-fueled power plant in Wisconsin (the Pleasant Prairie Carbon Capture Pilot Plant ).
The research by scientists at Rice University; the University of California, Berkeley; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL); and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) was published in the journal Nature Materials. —Berend Smit.
EPRI) will produce an engineering design and cost estimate of a membrane-based post-combustion CO 2 capture system on Duke Energy’s East Bend Station in Kentucky. The project team will create a model that replicates the station’s performance and will be used to estimate the impacts of retrofitting CO2 capture to the plant.
T he Fall edition of the EPRI Journal has a feature story called The Plug In Hybrid Vehicle: Beyond Gasoline by Lucy Sanna Here is the PDF. The Plug-In hybrid charges directly from the electricity grid, but unlike its electric vehicle brethren, it sports a liquid fuel tank for unlimted driving range.
will partner with GE Global Research, EPRI, Southern Company, American Electric Power and FirstEnergy to design and test a high temperature nickel-based superalloy thick-walled header for cycling and flexible plant operation in new and existing plants. Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. Process Systems Enterprise Limited.
For example, a 2007 EPRI study they cite concluded that the US PHEV average fraction of vehicle miles traveled using battery electricity would be about 20%. S1 offers additional improvements to ozone and black carbon air quality whereas S2 implies substantial degradation of sulfate air quality.
The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid? I truly hope we have turned a corner. billion metric tons.
350 g CO2 e/mi for ICEVs and ?250 450 gCO 2 e/mi (grams of carbon dioxide equivalents per mile), while C2G emissions from HEVs, PHEVs, H2 FCEVs, and BEVs range from 300–350 gCO 2 e/mi. The team expects future vehicle efficiency gains to reduce emissions to ?350 250 gCO 2 e/mi for HEVs, PHEVs, FCEVs, and BEVs.
Plug-in vehicles are a savior for the environment, at least according to research conducted by groups such as the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC). According to their studies conducted back in 2008, CO2 emissions could drop by as much as 450 million tons annually if only 60 % of light.
President Barack Obama previewed a pioneering plug-in hybrid truck project this week developed by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in collaboration with the Eaton Corporation and Ricardo plc. This project exemplifies Ricardo’s ongoing commitment to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions”.
Electric vehicles are an important element of our strategy for improving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions,” said Bill Ford, Ford’s executive chairman. This new technology allows the vehicle operator to program when to recharge the vehicle, for how long and at what utility rate.
Small long-term evaluation program, including modeling of vehicle-to-grid building benefits and economics, begun with Southern California Edison, joined by EPRI, other utilities, US DOE. The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution.
