French multinational electric and gas company Engie has joined the Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) project known as STEP Demo, led by GTI in collaboration with Southwest Research Institute and GE Research.
The project is a unique demonstration of next-generation, higher-efficiency, lower-cost electric power plants enabled by supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) technology.
With funding from the US Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory and other industry partners, the project has designed, built and constructed a 10-megawatt-electric sCO2 pilot plant.
Equipment installation is currently underway at the campus in Texas, with operational start-up anticipated next year.
