capture technologies, or 2) designing a commercial-scale, post-combustion CO? capture system at an existing coal-fueled generating unit. The objectives are to address concerns related to scale-up and integration of the technology in coal-based power plants. DOE Funding: $7,427,258 Non-DOE: $2,400,000 Total Value: $9,827,258.

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 ).

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. The EPRI says lithium-ion batteries are ready now.
