Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Indian scientists at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru have developed a supercritical Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Brayton test facility to generate clean energy from power plants, including solar thermal.

With closed cycle CO2 as the working fluid it has the potential to replace steam-based nuclear and thermal power plants, thus reducing the carbon foot print significantly.

Reducing Carbon Footprint: While the current day’s thermal power plants would use steam to carry the heat and turn a turbine to generate power, the research makes use of supercritical CO2 (SCO2) instead of steam to generate more power.
