Notice of Public Meeting of the Supercritical CO2 Oxy-Combustion 
Technology Group

AGENCY: National Energy Technology Laboratory, Office of Fossil Energy, 
Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will host a 
public meeting via WebEx February 27, 2018, of the Supercritical 
CO2 Oxy-combustion Technology Group, to address challenges 
associated with oxy-combustion systems in directly heated supercritical 
CO2 (sCO2) power cycles.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on February 27, 2018, from 1:00 
p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held via WebEx and hosted by 
NETL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information regarding the 
public meeting, please contact Seth Lawson or Walter Perry at NETL by 
telephone at (304) 285-4469, by email at [email protected], 
[email protected], or by postal mail addressed to National 
Energy Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins Ferry Road, P.O. Box 880, 
Morgantown, WV 26507-0880. Please direct all media inquiries to the 
NETL Public Affairs Officer at (304) 285-0228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Instructions and Information on the Public Meeting

    The public meeting will be held via WebEx. The public meeting will 
begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. Meeting details will be 
available prior to the meeting on the NETL website, https://www.netl.doe.gov/events/sco2-tech-group. Interested parties may RSVP, 
to confirm their participation and receive login instructions, by 
emailing [email protected]. The objective of the Supercritical 
CO2 Oxy-combustion Technology Group is to promote a 
technical understanding of oxy-combustion for direct-fired 
sCO2 power cycles by sharing information or viewpoints from 
individual participants regarding risk reduction and challenges 
associated with developing the technology.
    Oxy-combustion systems in directly heated supercritical 
CO2 (SCO2) power cycles utilize natural gas or 
syngas oxy-combustion systems to produce a high temperature 
SCO2 working fluid and have the potential to be efficient, 
cost effective and well-suited for carbon dioxide (CO2) 
capture. To realize the benefits of direct fired SCO2 power 
cycles, the following challenges must be addressed: Chemical kinetic 
uncertainties, combustion instability, flowpath design, thermal 
management, pressure containment, definition/prediction of turbine 
inlet conditions, ignition, off-design operation, transient 
capabilities, in-situ flame monitoring, and modeling, among others.
    The format of the meeting will facilitate equal opportunity for 
discussion among all participants; all participants will be welcome to 
speak. Following a detailed presentation by one volunteer participant 
regarding lessons learned from his or her area of research, other 
participants will be provided the opportunity to briefly

[[Page 4477]]

share lessons learned from their own research. Meetings are expected to 
take place every other month with a different volunteer presenting at 
each meeting. Meeting minutes shall be published for those who are 
unable to attend.
    This meeting is considered ``open-to-the-public''; the purpose for 
this meeting has been examined during the planning stages, and NETL 
management has made specific determinations that affect attendance. All 
information presented at this meeting must meet criteria for public 
sharing or be published and available in the public domain. 
Participants should not communicate information that is considered 
official use only, proprietary, sensitive, restricted or protected in 
any way. Foreign nationals, who may be present, have not been approved 
for access to DOE information and technologies.

    Dated: January 10, 2018.
