Presenter
A Paradigm Shift Around Emissions of CO2
From Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) – Carbon Capture costs appear to be very expensive
and dramatically increases fossil plant parasitic loads
– Geologic Sequestration has unknown costs, unknown geologic consequences, and unknown liabilities
To Carbon Capture and Recycle (CCR) – High carbon capture costs can be more than offset by
high value for recycle and utilization of carbon as chemicals or liquid hydrocarbon fuels
The Goal:
Validate at a commercial scale new technologies and products that
make capturing CO2 from coal plants a revenue stream, not a
liability.
Additional competitions may be launched including CO2 utilization
from natural gas-fired production streams.
Led by Tri-State G&T. Sunflower Electric Power Co-op is a founding
member.

Potential Technologies for
CO2 Conversion to Liquid Fuels
Converting CO2 Using High Temperature
Co-Electrolysis (HTCE)
CO2 and high temperature steam from Fossil Plant input to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Plus Electricity from Grid, Wind, and/or Solar
Output is Green gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, and Oxygen
Oxygen can be input for retrofit fossil plants for Oxycombustion
