Fluor Awarded FEED Contract for California Carbon Capture Project
(P&GJ) — Fluor Corporation announced that it was awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for California Resources Corporation’s (CRC) carbon capture and sequestration project, Cal Capture, at the 550-megawatt, natural gas-powered Elk Hills Power Plant in Tupman, California.
The FEED is being funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) as part of a larger initiative to advance carbon capture technology development.
“We are honored to be selected by CRC to help them design and permit California’s first carbon capture and sequestration system,” said Mark Fields, group president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business.
Fluor’s scope of work is as the licensor providing engineering services for the plant’s licensed process unit and required utility systems using its proprietary Econamine FG PlusSM carbon capture technology which is a process for the removal of carbon dioxide from flue gas streams.
The execution of the project is a collaborative effort between EPRI, CRC and Fluor. The DOE award was made to EPRI, which has led the interface with the DOE. CRC is providing the project oversight and defining the basis of the FEED.
