The project is planned to be a hydrogen power project sited near Bakersfield, California.
The project would use petroleum coke (petcoke) (or blends of petcoke and coal, as needed) as its sources of hydrocarbon fuel. Gasification and separation would generate separate streams of hydrogen and CO2 gases. The hydrogen fuel would feed a new 390MW gross power plant providing California with low-carbon base-load (continuous) power to the grid. The CO2 would be taken by pipeline for injection into the Elk Hills oil fields that have been identified as fields where CO2 injection would boost the proportion of the oil that can be recovered. The CO2 would remain permanently stored in the oil fields. The project would capture, inject, recycle and permanently store more than 2 million tons of CO2 per year.
