ENGIE Joins STEP Demo Project to Demonstrate How sCO2 Technology Can Create Clean, Low-Cost Power
6/18/20 Des Plaines, IL--
GTI is pleased to announce that ENGIE, a French multinational electric and gas company, is joining in the Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) project known as STEP Demo. It is a unique demonstration of next-generation, higher-efficiency, lower-cost electric power plants enabled by supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) technology.
With an increasing global demand for energy, electricity production is expected to grow faster than any other use of energy, employing diverse resources with regional variations. The next generation of transformational power processes will utilize technologies that enable clean, low-carbon power production that offers versatility, scalability, responsiveness, and lower costs.
In Europe and the U.S., electricity generated from gas—whether it is natural gas, green gas from biogas, or synthetic methane from renewable hydrogen and CO2—is complementary to the increasing share of electricity generated from renewables, and will continue to play an important role in the transition to carbon neutrality.
A four-party program to prove supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) efficiency
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (U.S. DOE/NETL) and numerous other industry partners, GTI is leading a project team in collaboration with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and GE Research. A 10 Megawatt-electric supercritical CO2 pilot plant has been designed, building construction has been completed, and equipment installation is underway on the SwRI campus in San Antonio, TX, with operational start-up anticipated next year.
The STEP Demo pilot plant will be used to advance the sCO2 Brayton power cycle and demonstrate performance over a range of operating conditions. Using sCO2 as a working fluid for power cycles, instead of steam/water, will result in lower capital costs, as well as reduced plant size and footprint, and has the potential to revolutionize future power generation.
Supercritical CO2 cycles offer substantial cost, emissions, and operational benefits and can operate using a wide range of heat sources, including fossil fuel (natural gas), renewables (concentrated solar, biomass, geothermal), next-generation nuclear, industrial waste heat recovery, and shipboard propulsion.
By combining higher cycle efficiencies with lower cost and highly compact turbomachinery, the STEP Demo project is a significant step toward commercialization of sCO2-based power generation and is informing the performance, operability, and scale-up to more efficient commercial power plants.
ENGIE joins the demonstration to move the technology from the lab to the field
ENGIE offers turnkey solutions in low-carbon energy services. With capabilities in electricity generation and distribution, natural gas, nuclear, renewable energy, and energy transition, the company leverages a power generation portfolio composed of largely low-carbon and renewable resources.
“ENGIE supports its customers in their carbon neutral energy transition and clean power generation is an important part of this. Not only is the efficiency of power generation important, the need for flexibility is also growing.
The ability of power plants to ramp up and down quickly is critical to complement the intermittent character of the rising share of renewable power generation. sCO2 Brayton cycle systems—particularly with natural or green gas power generation applications—have the potential to increase both efficiency and flexibility, and this project will help us better understand its potential and challenges,” says Dr. Jan Mertens, Chief Science Officer at ENGIE.
“We are pleased to have our first European partner on this project,” notes Michael Rutkowski, GTI Senior Vice President, Research and Technology Development. “International collaboration is critically important to successfully address the worldwide need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transformational sCO2-based power cycles offer dramatically improved efficiencies, economics, and environmental performance. They can play an important role in the transition to low-carbon energy.”
ENGIE has joined the current industry, academic, and state government partners in this open Joint Industry Program to help guide the test activities and move the technology from the lab to the field. Developing and maturing the technology at pilot scale will spur the development of designs, materials, components, and systems necessary for larger-scale sCO2 power conversion systems.
Post project, STEP Demo will remain a testbed for future sCO2-cycle-based power development. The plant design is flexible and can be reconfigured to accommodate ongoing testing and technology optimization. The project teams welcomes additional partners with interest in sCO2 power cycle technology.

PANEL SPOTLIGHT How Stakeholders Are Driving New State-level Regulatory Initiatives
In elements of natural gas operations, from safety to greenhouse gas mitigation, states – and occasional smaller jurisdictions – are playing an increasingly active role in setting the legislative agenda and regulatory approach, a substantial shift away from centralized rule development. Constituents in these jurisdictions are playing an active role in crafting these policies, leading to an unprecedented level of community engagement. This panel will explore ‘what that looks like’ – who’s driving the change, and how states and localities are reacting.

GTI and Partners Selected by DOE-NETL for $16.25 Million Project Award to Advance Carbon Capture Technology
11/11/20 Des Plaines, IL—
GTI and partners, The Ohio State University, Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC), and Trimeric Corporation (Trimeric), have been selected for award on a project to advance Ohio State’s transformational membrane technology to provide step-out reductions in CO2 capture cost and energy penalties. The U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE-NETL) is expected to provide $13 million in funding for the $16.25 million project, with partners contributing the additional financial support. The team will fabricate the membrane and membrane modules, design and build an engineering-scale CO2 capture system, conduct tests on coal flue gas, and gather data for further process scale-up.
Capturing CO2 from power production and other industrial sources is a key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and plays an integral role in the transition towards a more decarbonized energy system. Performing engineering scale studies and maturing CO2 capture technologies is critical to move them to the market and into utility and industrial use at new and existing facilities. Ultimately such transformational technologies will enable the transition to affordable cleaner energy.
The project, Engineering Scale Design and Testing of Transformational Membrane Technology for CO2 Capture, will advance Ohio State’s patented membrane technology from highly successful bench-scale DOE projects for the development of CO2 selective membranes. It seeks to achieve DOE’s Transformational Carbon Capture performance goal of CO2 capture with 95% CO2 purity at a cost of $30/tonne or less.
GTI and Ohio State will jointly lead the project, overseeing design and testing of the CO2 capture system. By employing a facilitated transport mechanism for CO2 separation, the membrane can achieve high selectivity and high permeance for CO2 separation from flue gas, resulting in the potential for low capture cost.
The integrated capture system will be tested on coal flue gas at the ITC to demonstrate continuous, steady-state operation for a minimum of two months to generate the data necessary for further process scale-up. Techno-economic analysis will be performed by Trimeric to quantify performance and economics and verify achievement of the DOE’s cost and performance targets. This project seeks to advance the technology from current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 to TRL 6, validating an engineering-scale prototypical system in a relevant environment.
“The right partnerships are critical to support key technology initiatives and bring high-impact results to market, and our project team will leverage each partner’s unique expertise with the combined technical capabilities, facilities, and funding to advance decarbonization solutions,” says Don Stevenson, Vice President, GTI Energy Supply and Conversion.
He continues, “This project will build on transformational membrane technology from Ohio State with GTI’s extensive experience in energy technology commercialization and the design of engineering- and demonstration-scale carbon capture and utilization systems. Testing the system in real-world conditions of a functional coal-fired power plant at the ITC will provide important insights to validate the system in
a relevant environment. This will represent a major step up in the technology’s readiness to reduce CO2 emissions from power production and provide clean and secure energy for the industrial sector as energy systems transition.”

How are operators handling information from remote sensing?
Technology Enabling Green Initiatives November 17-19, 2020 | Virtual Conference
PANEL SPOTLIGHT Operationalization – how are operators handling information from remote sensing?
Broad-area screening for leaks is coming – from satellites, aircraft, stationary sensors, and other methods. Conducted from off-site locations, these sensing efforts do not require the site access, and are likely to be deployed by a wide range of interested parties, rather than just traditional regulators and operators. The detections are ‘about to show up in operator inboxes.’ What will that look like? How can the information be most effectively used? What are the risks? This panel will explore the latest thinking on remote sensing, inter-stakeholder communications, reporting, and related operational issues.

A STEP closer to transformational electric power
Construction complete on building to house next-generation electric power pilot plant enabled by supercritical carbon dioxide technology
July 1, 2020 Des Plaines, IL--
See more photos
The STEP Demo team is pleased to announce that it has received the Certificate of Occupancy for the new Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) building in San Antonio that will house the 10-megawatt Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) pilot plant. The pilot plant will demonstrate a fully integrated electricity-generating power plant that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) to dramatically improve size, efficiency, economics, operational flexibility, space requirements and environmental performance of this new technology.
GTI, in collaboration with SwRI and GE Research, is leading the STEP Demo project with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (U.S. DOE/NETL) and numerous other industry partners.
The team has designed the pilot-scale power plant, which will be among the largest demonstration facilities for sCO2 technology in the world. Construction on the building is complete, and component manufacturing and equipment installation is progressing, followed by commissioning and start-up slated for early next year. After commissioning, comprehensive testing will mitigate risks in the advancement of sCO2 technology components and demonstrate performance over a range of operating conditions, illustrating the operability and performance of this high-efficiency power cycle.
“This milestone marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary development in the energy industry,” said SwRI President and CEO Adam L. Hamilton, P.E. “It’s exciting to have this game-changing STEP pilot plant located on the SwRI campus, where new technology developed right here in Texas will change the way we think about electric power generation.”
The transformational technology utilizes high-pressure CO2 instead of steam in a closed power cycle and is a breakthrough solution for clean, lower-cost electric power technology with a smaller footprint, higher efficiency, reduced water usage and lower CO2 emissions. It will help the state of Texas improve air quality and use abundant natural gas energy resources. However, the technology can also use industrial waste heat, concentrating solar power or practically any other heat input to generate electricity.
State Senator José Menéndez, D-San Antonio, has been a staunch supporter of the project, and provided valuable assistance with garnering state co-funding for this important project showcasing Texas as a U.S. and global energy technology leader. Innovative projects such as the STEP Demo look to the future while creating local jobs and attracting scientists and engineers from around the globe.
The project offers enhanced research and education opportunities for the next generation of energy professionals, and the team is excited to have the University of Houston (UH) as an academic partner. With a grant from the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ), UH will evaluate project data, quantify reduced emissions and improved efficiencies, and provide assessments to assist TCEQ in reducing air pollutants and achieving attainment with federal air quality standards.
The STEP Demo facility is expected to attract additional investment now and in the long term. With a flexible design, it can be reconfigured to accommodate new efforts so it will remain a testbed for future sCO2-cycle-based power system and component development.
OEMs, engineering companies, and power plant owner/operators from around the world are invited to join this project to gain a better understanding of how sCO2 technology can improve high-efficiency power generation.

EPRI and GTI Launch Initiative to Accelerate Low-Carbon Energy Technologies
Des Plaines, IL (Aug. 10, 2020) – The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Gas Technology Institute (GTI) are embarking on a five-year initiative to accelerate the development and demonstration of low-carbon energy technologies. With increasingly ambitious decarbonization goals from private companies and governments alike, existing technology is not enough to achieve those targets.
The Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI) is a unique, international collaborative spanning the electric and gas sectors that will help advance global, economy-wide deep decarbonization. With 18 anchor sponsors, the LCRI leverages the collaborative research model employed by both EPRI and GTI, bringing industry stakeholders together to conduct clean energy R&D for society’s benefit. Seeded with $10 million from the EPRI collaborative, funding for the initiative is expected to be leveraged many times over its $100 million target through public and private collaboration.
Sponsors of the initiative represent a wide swath of the energy industry, bringing exceptional knowledge and depth to the LCRI. These entities include:
American Electric Power, Con Edison, Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, Exelon Corporation, Lincoln Electric System, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, Missouri River Energy Services, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Americas, National Fuel, New York Power Authority, Portland General Electric, PPL Corporation, Salt River Project, SoCalGas, Southern California Edison, Southern Company, and the Tennessee Valley Authority
“Driving collaboration through the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative is important to reach deep decarbonization goals beyond 2030,” said EPRI President Arshad Mansoor. “Achieving ambitious targets will require technologies and processes beyond those widely available today. This global initiative will advance affordable pathways to economy-wide decarbonization.”
“Achieving decarbonization goals in a safe, reliable, and affordable manner will require deeper integration of energy infrastructure as well as new technologies that address the needs of all sectors of the economy,” said GTI Senior Vice President Mike Rutkowski. “The LCRI, with widespread involvement across the gas and electric sectors, will advance and demonstrate the technologies needed across the broader energy industry.”
The LCRI is targeting advancements in low-carbon electric generation technologies and low-carbon energy carriers, such as hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic fuels, and biofuels. This worldwide collaborative will:
Identify and accelerate fundamental development of promising technologies
Demonstrate and assess the performance of key technologies and processes
Inform key stakeholders and the public about technology options and potential pathways to a low-carbon future
For LCRI’s anchor sponsors, the initiative represents a key step toward achieving decarbonization goals over the next thirty years.
“This initiative advances the next-generation clean energy technologies that are critical to achieving net zero emissions within Dominion Energy and across the broader economy. Hydrogen is one of the most promising of these innovations because of its potential to decarbonize many sectors, including power generation, heating, transportation, shipping and manufacturing. We are excited to partner with EPRI, GTI and other industry leaders to advance the next frontier of zero-carbon energy.” - Mark Webb, Chief Innovation Officer, Dominion Energy
“We look forward to working together with the members of EPRI and GTI to find innovative, affordable solutions that will help us achieve carbon neutrality. While cleaning the grid and efficient electrification are key pillars to decarbonize the economy, low-carbon fuels will play a continued role as well.” - Pedro J. Pizarro, President and CEO, Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison and Edison Energy, Chair of EPRI’s Board of Directors
“Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is very excited to partner with EPRI and GTI on the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative. We see it as an important initiative toward developing clean, low-carbon fuel technologies that will help us achieve a clean energy future for Los Angeles. This partnership will further efforts to initiate new highly-technical research projects that will address LADWP’s evolving needs and engage in new low-carbon channels for the generation, delivery and end use of electricity in ways that support reliability, sustainability and efficiency.” - Reiko Kerr, Senior Assistant General Manager, Power System Engineering, Planning, and Technical Services, LADWP
“We are excited to partner with EPRI, GTI and major electric power utilities to accelerate the deployment of technologies like green hydrogen that will pave the way to a decarbonized power sector. Our mission in the Americas is to provide power generation and storage solutions that enable our customers to combat climate change and advance human prosperity. Together, we will achieve a Change in Power.” - Paul Browning, President and CEO, MHPS Americas
“Developing viable pathways for decarbonizing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires identifying a wide range of low-carbon technology solutions that are cost-effective for consumers in large-scale development, are technically, economically and environmentally feasible and sustainable while also maintaining sufficient, reliable energy supplies for all sectors of the economy. We believe LCRI will play a crucial role in this effort.” - Donna L. DeCarolis, President, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, National Fuel’s utility subsidiary
“As we work together to further decarbonize our electric and gas grids, resilient and integrated systems will become even more important in providing clean, affordable and reliable energy to our customers. This collaborative effort across the gas and electric sectors will be instrumental in developing a 21st century energy system.” - Maryam Brown, President, SoCalGas
“TVA and our LCRI partners are committed to developing clean energy technologies that will help lead to a sustainable, reliable, and lower carbon future that benefits everyone. To build long-term success, it is critical to have clearly defined plans to reach zero carbon goals. We are pleased to be a part of an initiative that provides a realistic roadmap to help drive our nation from where we are to where we want to be.” - Jeff Lyash, President and CEO, Tennessee Valley Authority
EPRI and GTI will host a virtual roundtable on low-carbon resources Sept. 1, 2020, at 1 p.m. ET. You can register for the event here. This discussion will feature comments from:
Paul Browning, President & CEO, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Americas

July 31, 2020 Des Plaines, IL-
SunGas Renewables (SunGas) announces the appointment of Andrew Kramer as Vice President of Engineering. Andrew brings critical experience and leadership to the SunGas team with his years of experience in the design, installation, and operation of U-GAS® gasification technology, which is the core technology in SunGas’ fluidized bed gasification product.
Andrew has deep knowledge and experience in the design and operation of multiple gasification technologies. As Senior Director for GTI, he has overseen all aspects of design, operation, and maintenance of GTI’s pilot-scale gasification and related facilities including fuel feeding, gas feeding, syngas cleaning, conditioning, and end-use systems. He directed the design and operation of the
U-GAS gasifier with a variety of woody biomass feedstocks. Andrew’s past experience includes integration of gasification technology in gas-to-liquid conversions processes, including the TIGAS™ (Topsoe Improved Gasoline Synthesis) process, Fischer-Tropsch, and methanation systems. His responsibilities at GTI also extended to corporate safety, where his contributions to process safety were reflected in an exceptional safety record.
Prior to GTI, Andrew gained substantial industrial experience as a Production Control Supervisor for Zeneca. That work entailed supervising and training operators, troubleshooting equipment and process, setting production schedules, overseeing raw material flow, and meeting all safety, health, and environmental requirements and regulations. Accomplishments there included increasing production by 20% and decreasing process cycle time on a chemical intermediate for the nylon industry by 30%.
