1 Coal Gasification The Texas FutureGen Project Presented by Kristen Williamson ChE 379 Fall 2008

2 FutureGen Background Coal  Hydrogen + Electricity by-product  CO 2 sequestration $1.5 billion research initiative funded by Department of Energy and FutureGen Alliance $1.5 billion research initiative funded by Department of Energy and FutureGen Alliance 275 MW equivalent output (electricity and hydrogen) 275 MW equivalent output (electricity and hydrogen) 1 million metric tons CO 2 1 million metric tons CO 2 Final project site chosen end of 2007 Final project site chosen end of 2007 Odessa, TX Odessa, TX Jewett, TX Jewett, TX Tuscola, IL Tuscola, IL Mattoon, IL Mattoon, IL

3 Why Electricity? Source: EIA, Annual Energy Review 2006

4 Why Coal? Source: EIA, Annual Energy Review 2006

5 Why Coal? Source: EIA, Annual Energy Review 2006

6 Why FutureGen? U.S. CO 2 Emissions Source: EIA, Annual Energy Review 2006
