Duke Energy is collaborating in a number of carbon capture and storage research projects to explore potential technologies to capture CO2 from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants.
Duke Energy's participation in the Electric Power Research Institute's research in advanced coal plants helps accelerate the development and commercial application of future coal-based power generation that includes carbon capture technologies.
Duke Energy has been an active member of the U.S. China Clean Energy Research Center's Advanced Coal Technology Consortium (CERC-ACTC). The U.S. Department of Energy-supported center includes partners from universities, research institutions and industry. The Advanced Coal Technology Consortium addresses technology and practices for advanced coal utilization and carbon capture, utilization and storage. Specific research areas Duke Energy is involved in as a member of the CERC-ACTC include:
- integrated gasification combined cycle with carbon capture and storage
- post-combustion CO2 capture, utilization and storage
- Bio-fixation of CO2 with algae
- The organization has been evaluating technologies for CO2 capture, utilization and storage feasibility at Duke Energy's Gibson power plant in Indiana
