Efficient Recovery of Industrial Sources of CO2, Russell, Kansas |
An electrical co-generation, ethanol fuel production and carbon
dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
project in central Kansas is a unique scalable model for linked
energy systems. Waste heat from a 15-megawatt gas-fired turbine
municipal generator provides heat inputs for a 25 million gallon
per year ethanol plant. Carbon dioxide, a fermentation process
byproduct of ethanol production, will be utilized by a CO2 miscible flood demonstration project. The
Kansas project is the first to use CO2
emissions from ethanol production in an EOR project. The full
CO2 stream from this single ethanol plant
could supply a small commercial project capable of producing
five million barrels of oil and sequestering 1.5 million tons
of CO2 over twenty years. From: Co-generation, Ethanol Production and CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery: a Model for Environmentally and Economically Sound Linked Energy Systems, Martin K. Dubois, Scott W. White, and Timothy R. Carr |
