Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is part of a team awarded $80m from the Department of Energy (DOE) to design, build, and operate a pilot plant to demonstrate supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles.
The facility is expected to advance this technology as part of DOE’s Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) programme, aimed at meeting national climate and energy goals by providing cleaner, more affordable power sources.
The 10 megawatt electric pilot power plant will be located at SwRI’s headquarters in San Antonio and will tie into the power grid.
