NET Power project achieves first fire milestone

摘要

NET Power has successfully achieved first fire of its supercritical carbon dioxide demonstration power plant and test facility located in La Porte, Texas. First fire is a critical milestone for the demonstration plant, as it validates the fundamental operability and technical foundation of NET Power's new power system, which is designed to produce low-cost electricity from natural gas while generating near-zero atmospheric emissions, including full CO2 capture. The achievement also confirms the operation of Toshiba's combustor at commercial scale, as several 50MWth combustors will be used together in NET Power's 300MWe commercial facilities.
