Executive Summary

Geodyn Solutions proposes an innovative approach to energy generation by utilizing Solid Carbon Fractionation (SCF) technology to create a clean, high-value fuel for a 1,000 MWh power plant. This proposal outlines the technical approach, capital and operational cost estimates, job creation potential, economic benefits for the coal industry, carbon credit advantages, and return on investment (ROI) to showcase the feasibility and profitability of the project.

Project Overview

Objective

To develop a 1,000 MWh power plant powered by a turbine and Rankine Organic Cycle (ROC) system using fuel derived from SCF technology, which fractionates solid hydrocarbons into clean-burning fuel while reducing emissions.

Key Highlights

• Fuel Source: High-purity solid carbon fraction derived from coal via SCF technology.
• Coal Utilization: Efficiently processes coal to maximize energy yield and reduce waste.
• Power Generation System: Combined turbine and ROC for maximum efficiency.
• Environmental Benefits: Drastic reduction in sulfur, mercury, and CO₂ emissions.
• Economic Growth: Increased demand for coal supply, boosting coal industry jobs and infrastructure.
• Job Creation: Significant employment opportunities in construction, operations, maintenance, and coal supply logistics.
• Carbon Credit Advantages: Eligibility for carbon credits due to cleaner energy production.

Technical Approach

Solid Carbon Fractionation Process

SCF involves thermal cracking and controlled distillation of coal to separate valuable energy components. This produces:

• Liquid hydrocarbons (diesel, kerosene, jet fuel equivalents).
• Hydrogen-rich gases for combustion or secondary energy use.
• Ultra-purified solid carbon (low-sulfur fuel for power generation).

Coal Requirements for Power Generation

To sustain a 1,000 MWh power plant utilizing SCF fuel, the estimated coal requirement is:

• Coal Consumption: ~6,000 tons of coal per day.
• Annual Coal Demand: ~2.2 million tons per year.
• Coal-to-Fuel Efficiency: SCF technology ensures maximum conversion efficiency, reducing waste and optimizing energy output.
• Supply Chain Impact: Increased coal production and transportation demand will directly benefit mining operations and associated industries.

Power Plant Design

The 1,000 MWh plant will integrate:

1. High-efficiency combustion turbinesutilizing SCF-generated fuels.
2. Rankine Organic Cycle (ROC) systemto maximize thermal energy recovery.
3. Flue gas recapture technologyto minimize environmental impact.

Carbon Credit & Environmental Advantages

• Lower Emissions Profile: SCF significantly reduces sulfur, mercury, and CO₂ emissionscompared to traditional coal combustion.
• Carbon Credit Eligibility: The cleaner energy output makes the project eligible for carbon credit trading, offering financial incentives for emission reductions.
• Circular Economy Benefits: Captures and repurposes byproducts such as hydrogen and sulfur into valuable commodities, minimizing waste.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets EPA and international environmental standards, reducing penalties and increasing market viability for cleaner coal energy.
