UKCCSRC Flex (Funding) – Evaluation of different CCUS system
based on the MCFC technology for decarbonising the power generation sector
This project, lead by Professor Lin Ma, focuses on a disruptive carbon capture process, namely the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) technology which is available at TERC.
Unlike other capture technologies that absorb energy, MCFC is an active unit that generates energy, resulting in reduced capture energy penalties. The study focuses on the decarbonisation of the power sector, particularly the natural gas combined cycle plants.
The overall aim of the research project is to investigate the techno-economic feasibility of three different carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) systems that employ MCFC technology.
The outcomes of this project will constitute a foundation for a follow-up larger bid (e.g. EPSRC) in which the developed models will be calibrated and/or validated with relevant pilot plant data.
