- Project to produce clean hydrogen from coal, while CO2 is
captured for beneficial use or sequestration
- Project will enhance energy security, help combat climate
change and creates clean energy jobs for the region
Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that
Black Hills Energy (BHE) has selected its BrightLoop™ hydrogen
generation technology for the feasibility study of a proposed
project to produce clean hydrogen from coal and capture carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions at BHE’s Neil Simpson Power Plant in
Gillette, Wyo. BrightLoop is a novel chemical looping technology
that can use a variety of fuels to produce clean energy with
complete CO2 capture.
BHE will partner with B&W to study the cost and economics of
deploying the BrightLoop chemical looping technology at commercial
scale to produce low carbon intensity hydrogen gas from Powder
River Basin (PRB) coal and a nearly pure stream of CO2 suitable for
beneficial use or storage without the need for expensive carbon
separation equipment.
“As the United States and much of the world transitions to
near-zero emissions fuels, our BrightLoop technology – which
captures CO2 and other pollutants while producing hydrogen – can
provide a vital pathway to utilize our abundant natural resource of
coal in a net-zero world,” said B&W Executive Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan.
“We are excited to utilize our highly experienced U.S.
engineering team to work with BHE to develop a solution that will
help them achieve their goals of creating and preserving jobs,
diversifying Wyoming’s energy production and establishing new
markets for the state’s natural resources,” Morgan said. “We thank
BHE for this opportunity and for the confidence they have shown in
B&W’s BrightLoop technology.”
Mark Stege, Black Hills Energy’s Vice President of Wyoming
Operations agreed, adding, “Over 30 years of research has led us to
this opportunity to unite clean energy technology with Wyoming’s
important and abundant energy resources. We appreciate the
partnership with B&W and the prospect of leveraging innovative
hydrogen technology to deliver efficient energy to customers.”
B&W’s BrightLoop chemical looping technology is part of its
ClimateBright™ suite of decarbonization and hydrogen technologies.
The BrightLoop process uses a proprietary, regenerable particle and
has been demonstrated to effectively separate CO2 while producing
hydrogen, steam and/or syngas.
