Edwardsport

Duke Energy will complete a carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) feed study at Duke Energy's Edwardsport, Indiana 618 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) facility. The post combustion capture system will be designed to enable maximum fuel flexibility, from coal-gasified syngas, natural gas and syngas/natural gas blends. A robust community benefit plan will be developed as well as an environmental, health and safety assessment. The system will be designed to capture at least 95% of carbon dioxide from the heat recovery steam generators exhaust and minimize operating costs. The project design will target significant CO2 emissions reductions and sequestration of an estimated 3 million tonnes per annum on site, minimizing CO2 transportation and project viability risks. The feed study will provide design and engineering basis, and cost estimates enabling an investment decision on the project.
