  1. Coal GasificationThe Texas FutureGen Project Presented by Kristen Williamson ChE 379 Fall 2008

  2. FutureGen Background Coal  Hydrogen + Electricity by-product  CO2 sequestration • $1.5 billion research initiative funded by Department of Energy and FutureGen Alliance • 275 MW equivalent output (electricity and hydrogen) • 1 million metric tons CO2 • Final project site chosen end of 2007 • Odessa, TX • Jewett, TX • Tuscola, IL • Mattoon, IL

  12. Implementing New Technologies • Advanced Gasification • Transport Gasifier in oxygen-blown mode • Oxygen Separation • Advanced ion transport membranes • Hydrogen Production • Membrane separation from CO2 • Gas Cleanup • Remove sulfur, mercury, chlorides, ammonia • Hydrogen Turbines • Fuel Cells

  13. Implementing New Technologies • Carbon Sequestration • Capture • Transport • Storage • Monitoring • Infrastructure
