The REPACT Tool: User Manual [Slides]

Reuse of Existing Pipelines for Adapted Carbon Transport (REPACT) is an Excel-based screening tool. This tool enables the user to determine whether a pipeline originally deployed for natural gas transport, can be reused for CO 2 transport. The tool along with its associated users manual walk through an intended usage statement, setup instructions, a list of inputs and outputs in the tool, and frequently used protocols. Please note that this is a first-pass screening tool. The approach presented within this tool is valid for high-level evaluation only and should not be used to make engineering, financial, and/or regulatory decisions. Access the tool here: https://www.netl.doe.gov/energy-analysis/details?id=c699a604-ded1-45cd-b1c0-247b1405aeeb

Deployment Feasibility Futures Analysis of Natural Gas Combined Cycle with Carbon Capture in Five U.S. Regions

A broad suite of technologies will be required to enable the United States to meet the current goal of a zero-carbon power sector by 2035, while continuing to provide the U.S. consumer with reliable, secure, stable, and affordable electricity. This study was conducted to evaluate the competitiveness of a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in five independent system operating areas, the PJM interconnection (PJM) regional transmission organization, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s (WECC) Northwest Power Pool (NWPP) region, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and the SERC Reliability Corporation (SERC) in the 2030 to 2035 time horizon. The modeling and simulation efforts focused on determining the dispatch characteristics and the economic feasibility of constructing an NGCC plant with CCS in each of those regions. The analysis indicates that a NGCC system with CCS can be economically viable in the ERCOT and PJM regions. Additional revenue stream and/or capacity payments are required in MISO, NWPP, and SERC to enable successful commercial deployment of a NGCC with CCS.

Evaluation of NGCC with Capture for Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES)

This presentation focuses on the economic evaluation of a new NGCC plant with carbon capture operating at a 15% capacity factor (selected as a reference case example) for a Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) application.

Wyoming CCUS Study: Regional Electricity and Environmental Markets

This study is accompanies the Leonardo Technologies, Inc. study performed for the Office of Fossil Energy entitled: ''Wyoming Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Report''. In this study, NETL examined the regional electricity and environmental markets impacts of maintaining coal-fired generating units identified for retirement in the 2019 PacifiCorp Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) through retrofit with CCUS. In this study, the authors propose an alternative least cost resource portfolio that includes a CCUS option along with resources identified in the IRP required to meet service obligations. This alternative portfolio is estimated to produce a lower CO 2 emissions footprint and a lower cost to the consumer than the proposed IRP.

Reliability, Resilience, and the Oncoming Wave of Retiring Baseload Units, Volume II-B: Electricity Generation Supply Chain in the Northeast

This study follows upon and expands upon the previously published NETL reports that examined the performance of electricity generation units during the winter storm and cold weather event known as the “Bomb Cyclone” that occurred in early 2018. This study reviews the performance of slated and at-risk for retirement coal plants during the Bomb Cyclone, natural gas price volatility, and the role of energy and fuel storage.

Assessing the Export Potential for High Performance Materials

This document assesses the potential demand within international markets for HPMs in advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) and natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants as well as the aerospace sector and estimates the potential economic impacts for the U.S. associated with the estimated HPM exports in each market.

Quality Guidelines for Energy System Studies: CO 2 Impurity Design Parameters

This section of the Quality Guidelines for Energy System Studies (QGESS) provides recommended impurity limits for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) stream components for use in conceptual studies of CO 2 carbon capture, utilization, and storage systems. These limits were developed from information consolidated from numerous studies and are presented by component and application. Impurity levels are provided for carbon steel pipelines, sequestration through enhanced oil recovery (EOR), saline aquifer sequestration (SAS), and co-sequestration of CO 2 and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in saline reservoirs. This QGESS is intended as a guideline only for conceptual studies under a generic scenario and should not be used for actual projects, which are likely to have requirements that differ from the generic scenario assumed herein.
