The Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP)-Odessa, Texas

Currently in development, TCEP is an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) 400MW power/polygen project that will combine for the first time proven gasification and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) technologies to achieve a capture rate of 90% -- among the highest in the world. In December 2009, TCEP received a $350 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI)-Round 3. Siemens is the primary equipment provider for TCEP’s gasifiers, power island and controls, including a “twin pack” of SFG-500 gasifiers, a state-of-the-art SGT6-5000F combustion turbine, and an advanced SPPA-T3000 control system. The project’s front end engineering design (FEED) study was launched in June 2010 by Fluor, Siemens and Selas Fluid Processing Corporation, a Linde Group subsidiary. The project is supported by H.B. 469, Texas legislation enacted in 2009 to promote carbon capture power projects with low emissions.  For more information, please visit http://texascleanenergyproject.com/
