Clean Energy Systems, Inc. (CES) applications

The Clean Energy Systems oxy-fuel gas generator and OFT-J79 expander turbine are ideally suited to emergency start-up and peaking power plant applications. Conventional peaking power plants typically take 10 to 30 minutes or more to come online because of the need to warm up expensive NOx catalysts and bring the facility to its required operating temperature. CES power plants require less time to start up, cost less to run, and release effectively zero emissions to the atmosphere.

Clean Energy Systems has developed game-changing technology that is revolutionizing the power industry by eliminating the traditional power plant stack and making zero-emission power plants a standard installation. Based on proven rocket technology, the CES oxy-fuel combustor produces clean, high-energy drive gases for the generation of electrical power. The incorporation of oxy-fuel combustion technology into conventional power generation systems makes zero-emissions power plants (ZEPPs) based on fossil fuels practical today. ZEPPs have multiple advantages, including compact and lower cost equipment, greater cycle efficiencies with advanced turbines, complete carbon capture and sequestration of the carbon dioxide (CO2) effluent, and zero emissions (or ultra-low emissions when the exhaust is vented to the atmosphere as in a peaking power plant).

More than 180 nations set the goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5 °C, compared to pre-industrial levels. In order to meet this goal, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has reported the deployment of large scale “carbon-negative” cycles are needed by 2040. One type of carbon-negative technology that has generated significant interest is biomass energy production combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS), known as BioCCS or BECCS. BioCCS has enormous potential to remove significant amounts of the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere while producing renewable fuels and/or electricity.

CES technology allows our customers to expand their perspective on economically attractive natural resources, whether it being stranded, marginal, contaminated, or traditionally uneconomic resources, or simply overcoming siting or permitting issues by providing self-sustained access to water, power, CO2, and more...
