Project Description
Tampa Electric Company (TEC) and their partners will perform a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for retrofitting ION Clean Energy Inc.'s post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology at Polk Power Station located in Mulberry, Florida. The Polk Power Station consists of two separate facilities, including a 1,190-megawatt (MW) natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant unit (PK2), which is the focus of the FEED study. The project will be capable of capturing a minimum of 95% of the CO2 emissions, equating to nearly 3.7 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
The objective of the project is to design a cost-effective system that maintains the necessary flexibility of a dispatch-based generating asset while maximizing energy efficiency and utilizing ION Clean Energy's transformational solvent (ICE-31). During the FEED study, the project team will design a CO2 capture facility that best fits the commercial needs of TEC. The team will prepare an AACE Class 3 estimate for the entire scope of the capture facility and balance of plant systems to generate a CO2 product with suitable characterization and pressure requirements for onsite storage. This information will be used to develop a successful business case analysis for implementation at PK2, as well as further expansion to other TEC NGCC generation assets in close proximity to PK2.
Project Benefits
The Point Source Carbon Capture Program is accelerating the deployment of advanced carbon capture technologies that can separate CO2 with at least 95% capture efficiency from major process streams at NGCC power plants. The completion of FEED studies for commercial-scale systems that separate at least 500,000 tonnes/year net CO2 at NGCC power plants suitable for long-duration carbon storage or CO2 conversion/utilization into long-lasting products will support the United States in achieving a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero carbon pollution economy by 2050 while promoting the creation of jobs located in power plant communities.
