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. |
