US research and training organisation GTI has signed an agreement with Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI), a unit of Korea Electric Power Company (KEPCO).
They will jointly research and develop oxygen-fired pressurised fluidised bed combustor (Oxy-PFBC) technology that promises power generation with substantially reduced emissions.
The GTI-KEPRI development agreement focuses on combustor work which can lead to power generation with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture that is more efficient and lower cost than current CO2 capture technologies. Such achievements could help reduce capital costs and minimise the plant footprint of power generators.
“The Oxy-PFBC process generates electricity and heat with near-zero emissions by economically capturing greenhouse gases created by combustion,” said Yong-Chae Bae, Vice President of KEPRI.
