Industrial Decarbonization
A New Path to a Cleaner Future
Clean Energy Systems has developed reliable oxy-fuel technology that can produce near-zero emission heat and power to decarbonize a wide variety of industrial processes. CES combined heat and power (CHP) plants are co-located with industrial customers and offer a cost-effective and efficient route to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and overall carbon footprint. CES’ oxy-fuel combustion technology provides almost 100% carbon capture from its power and steam generation systems, which is a key advantage compared to conventional post-combustion capture systems that struggle to cost-effectively reach capture rates of 90%+.
Growing Demand
There is an increasing demand for products and services that don’t comprise the environment from governments, industries, and consumers alike. Both regulations and incentives are moving industries to seek new and novel approaches to reduce their overall impact while still delivering quality products. While renewables plus batteries, thermal energy storage, and electric boilers have a key role to play, natural gas CHP with CCS doesn’t require costly equipment retrofits and offers firm, dispatchable heat and power. CES’ proprietary oxy-combustion systems not only deliver near-zero emissions CHP, but also produces water, rather than consuming it.
Modular and Scalable Solutions
CES is commercializing a CHP module that produces combined electric and thermal power, by pairing proprietary oxy-fuel burner technology with a standard steam turbine. For larger projects, multiple CES modules can be deployed and paired with larger turbines to achieve greater economy-of-scale. Future generations of CES technology are in advanced stages of development and will enable higher net cycle efficiencies to unlock higher power outputs from a single module.
Diverse Market Application
CES CHP plants are suitable for a number of diverse industrial facility types with medium- or large-scale demand for heat and power. This includes renewable fuels production facilities such as ethanol, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), methanol and ammonia, as well as across the oil and gas supply chain from upstream activities, midstream natural gas processing, and different types of downstream facilities. CES also offers attractive solutions for hard to abate industries and processes such as those throughout the steel and cement supply chains.
