This Natural Gas Plant Has Achieved Zero Emissions

Just outside Houston, a company called NET Power has just brought a revolutionary new power plant online. The company says it can burn natural gas while capturing 100% of carbon emissions, with no increase in the cost of electricity. In this episode of "The Spark," we take you inside the world's first zero-emissions natural gas plant. We also look at an Icelandic company, CarbFix, that has developed a way of safely storing captured carbon by depositing it deep in volcanic rocks.

[@iainsquelch6223]

The video fails to mention that the Allam Cycle requires purified oxygen, instead of air, for combustion. This means that on the front end of the process there is an air separation plant to extract oxygen from air to feed the process. This air separation plant, while not technologically challenging, is costly to install and energy intensive to operate. This reduces the plant efficiency and leads to higher cost of production in just the same way as other processes do as mentioned at 1:40. This requirement is among the key pieces which drive the economics of electricity generation from the Allam Cycle. It is doubtful that an honest evaluation of the process would show that that the cost of electricity produced this way is comparable to the cost of electricity produced from conventional means....which is what Allam appears to suggest he achieved (his stated ‘objective’ at 1:59). It is bush league reporting to not address how this requirement for purified oxygen is met in the Net Power process without severely impacting the cost of electricity generation.

The difference being that this basalt storage seems to be safe, as it's bound to rock and won't be released back in the atmosphere. We already have a lot of CO2 safely bound in limestone deposits around the world. For nuclear waste, on the other hand, there is no known safe storage method and if the radioactive material leaks out of it's storage medium it could have devastating effects over tens of thousands of years.

Using the new and patented Allum system to capture carbon while burning cheap and abundant natural gas will be key to buying time to develop wind and solar. NetPower is simply brilliant!!

Sorry, but 1. Gas is not usually used to just heat seatm. Gas is better used for gas turbines, the exhaust gas of which can be used for steam turbines. 2. Regardless of that, all they showed was a system collecting exhaust gas after the turbine, and that, they might as well do in what they called 'traditional plants' at the exhaust of the burner. The hard part is purifying the exhaust gas because it's by far not only CO2 that is produced by burning natural gas. 3. What they showed here as anything but a closed cycle. A closed cycle is not even possible on a chemical level when it comes to combustion (well at least not if your goal is to get any useful energy out of the system.
