(68b) Modular Systems for Clean Coal

There Are Many Technical and Manufacturing Challenges That Face Our Collective Efforts to Build an Affordable, Clean, and Secure Energy Future. To This End, the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Has Funded Research and Development of Technologies Focused on Assessing Strategies for Rapid Deployment of Modular Systems That Will Expand Market Penetration of Clean Energy Technologies at All Scales. Â Currently Usdoe Is Assessing the Potential for Modular Systems to Accelerate Technology Deployment By Leveraging Advance Manufacturing Techniques That Make Such Systems Competitive. This Report Will Specifically Aim to Discuss Interchangeable, Interoperable, and Robust Modular System Platforms That Separate Gases (CO₂, N₂, O₂), Convert Domestic Carbon Resources (coal, natural gas, biomass, and biogas) to Produce Value-Added Products (power, fuels, and chemicals) While Addressing Environmental Concerns (water, carbon, and other emissions). Specifically the Report Will Identify the Major Challenges Facing Modularization and Examine Possible Technical and Economic Solutions through an Integrated Systems Perspective. the Report Also Discusses Opportunities to Harness Innovations in Advanced Manufacturing (e.g. additive manufacturing, microfluidics, advanced simulation) to Reduce Costs, Improve Performance, and Consider Design Elements to Improve Deployment. The Author Will Discuss the Challenges for Making These Modular Systems Come to Marketplace
