Project Description: |
The University
of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) is pursuing
the development of supporting research for the U.S. Department of Energy's
FutureGen initiative - the world's first coal-based; zero-emissions power
plant that produces both electricity and hydrogen. Because significant research and
development are needed before FutureGen can become a reality; the objectives
of this activity will address the following key technical barriers facing the
deployment of the FutureGen concept: (1) demonstrating at a fundamental level
that the combustion of coal in an oxygen-water vapor atmosphere is feasible;
(2) developing a feed system for a low-rank coal and carbon dioxide slurry
that could be injected into an energy conversion system; (3) pilot-scale
testing to optimize hydrogen production in an integrated fluidized-bed
gasifier coupled with a steam reforming system; and (4) demonstrating the use
of alloy hydrides for hydrogen storage. |
