Gaz Türbinlerinde Karbon Yakalama ve Atık Isı ile Elektrik Üretimi

Gaz türbinlerinde karbon yakalama ve atık ısıdan elektrik üretimi
Capsol Technologies has entered into a significant collaboration with a major U.S. electricity generation and distribution company. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the parties grants Capsol exclusive rights for the development and implementation of carbon capture technology in gas turbines in the U.S. This step is seen as paving the way for the country’s first commercially scaled low-carbon gas power plant.

The agreement represents Capsol Technologies’ strategic entry into the North American public utilities market. There is a growing pressure in the region for both continuous electricity generation and the reduction of carbon emissions. With this collaboration, the company aims to provide solutions to the challenges faced by U.S. energy companies regarding decarbonization, cost control, and operational reliability.

Under the agreement, Capsol aims to work alongside technology partners and project investors to advance the project toward a Final Investment Decision (FID). Company management emphasizes that U.S. public utility providers must pivot towards low-carbon solutions that do not compromise system reliability due to increased regulations and market expectations.

Both capturing carbon and generating electricity

The CapsolGT carbon capture system developed by Capsol is specifically designed for simple cycle gas turbines. The system captures carbon dioxide directly from the turbine exhaust, utilizing the generated waste heat for additional electricity production. This approach achieves a CO₂ capture rate of over 95% without the need for steam production or complex combined cycle conversions, allowing existing plants to reduce emissions while maintaining flexibility and operational readiness.

Technically, CapsolGT stands out as a solution that can respond to the rapidly increasing electricity demand generated by data centers. Natural gas is expected to account for approximately 36% of U.S. electricity generation by 2024, maintaining its central position in the country’s energy mix. Experts predict that natural gas will continue to hold its weight in the energy portfolio in the medium to long term. Capsol views this scenario as a significant market opportunity for the modernization of existing plants and new thermal investments.
