SCO2 Power Generation for Renewable Energy Extraction

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) Power Generation for Renewable Energy Extraction

Summary
• Many advantages to sCO2 cycles:

• Higher efficiency (up to 50%)*
• Smaller mechanical components (30%)*
• Lower cost of electricity (20-30%)*
• Ideal for renewable energy
• Reduced greenhouse emissions

• Multi-disciplinary team at UTSA is well-equipped to advance this technology
• Opportunity for CPS Energy to be a leader in the development of this next-generation renewable energy technology
