Max you said this:
"While you are correct that a 500MW power plant would require 35-40 2.8MW modules...this Rotterdam project is not that."
I don't know how you know this to be true or not. I am in agreement that it is most likely true. But I only base that on the $11 million figure that has been thrown around. I have not heard anything else about the number of modules or the capture rate for the apparently 500 MW power station.
I am at a loss to understand why they would not capture at 90% and then proudly tell the world that they have the very best system to be used throughout the world. There must be some reason for that. Because after 3 years more, to then say that they have successfully captured 5% or 10% at this plant will be totally laughable and inconsequential and just such a joke because the entire world is going to require 90%, and all of the political discussion is centering around the fact that CCS cannot cut it at scale, and therefore all of CCS and all of blue hydrogen should never be supported because it is a dead end and only green hydrogen and solar panels and wind should be the only avenues for public policy.
Maybe I'm wrong about some of my assumptions, such as the size of the power plant being 500 megawatts. Maybe it is only 50 megawatts or something like that and that is considered to be 'at scale'. But that is not how I understand the issue as it is being discussed politically in all the articles I have read regarding the EPA rules for CCS.
Anyway, like I said it would sure be nice to get clarity from Exxon and/or FCEL. Not sure why there is no clarity.
