#sCO2

Anyone planning to upgrade steam to supercritical CO2? #sCO2 at 1000psi even at 31C has vast efficiency improvement.

Gas, nuclear and the criminal & #ecocidal #biomass would all benefit from that, in fact eliminate biomass with the additional efficiency.

#sCO2 process also just increased turbine efficiency 50%

🔆¿Una planta solar que almacena energía y funciona sin sol?
Un nuevo estudio del grupo CHYTAC propone combinar almacenamiento termoquímico y sCO₂ para generar electricidad de forma más eficiente y flexible, todo el año.
