LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products
(NYSE: APD) today announced an agreement with Shanxi International
Energy Group Co., Ltd (SIEG) to perform a feasibility study and
reference plant design on its proprietary oxyfuel carbon dioxide
(CO2) purification technology for potential installation at SIEG's
350 MW Oxyfuel Electrical Generation Demonstration Project.
The demonstration project, to be located at SIEG's power
plant in Taiyuan, Shanxi, intends
to purify CO2 emissions for capture for other application use or
sequestration. The U.S. Department of Energy and China
National Energy Administration have agreed to include this project
in the U.S.-China Fossil Energy Protocol - Annex II: Clean Fuels,
which is designed to promote scientific and technological
cooperation between countries.
"We are honored that SIEG selected Air Products and our
technology for this study and pre-plant design. We have
demonstrated at smaller scale that oxyfuel technology can
successfully purify CO2 for capture. A project this large,
being world scale at 350 MW, is the next logical step for the
technology," said David J. Taylor,
vice president - Energy Businesses at Air Products. Taylor
added under the agreement that Air Products' study and plant design
will provide SIEG detail for both oxygen production and CO2
purification needs, and both plants will be world scale size.
