The Scale is huge

Based on this info from FCEL:

... from the end of the document ....

A 500MW pulverized coal plant requires an approximately 400MW FuelCell Energy
carbon capture plant for a 90% carbon capture rate. A less carbon-intensive 500MW
natural gas combined cycle plant would require a carbon capture plant of about 150MW
for the same carbon capture ratio.



If I read it correctly, a NatGas 500 MW plant that captures 90% CO2 (as apparently will be necessary at new NatGas plants) will require approximtely 50 FCEL 2.8MW modules. That's huge.

The rules for existing NatGas plants will come later this year (they say). Even if the requirements are only 50% for exisiting NatGas (as an example) then that is still going to be approximtely 25 FCEL 2.8 MW modules, assuming a 500 MW NatGas plant.

Coal would require more than double that. From what I have read before, there are site-specific issues with coal that make it much more complicated than NatGas, so it's possible that FCEL will only concentrate on NatGas. Anyway, the potentiatl is huge.

The main reason for doing a coal plant, if possible, is first that a 500 MW coal plant will require about 140 2.8 MW modules - but moreso that if it is really feasible and profitable, then that would be a huge showpiece for the rest of the world, which has tons of existing coal plants.

..... keep in mind that all the usable CO2 and of course H2 are 'byproducts'...haha ... don't tell anyone .... it's a secret ...... ssshhhhhh...... we need the insiders to be able to buy their millions of shares for under $1 first .....
