Within the Department of Energy (DOE), SCO2 Brayton Cycle energy conversion could benefit research and development efforts in the offices of Nuclear Energy, Fossil Energy and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The Tech Team members draw from each of these programs and work together to achieve the highest efficiencies offered by the sCO2 Brayton Cycle technology (compared to the widely-used steam turbine Rankin Cycle.)

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2)

Recent studies have found that Supercritical carbon dioxide can flush out oil from depleting wells. The purpose […]
