📋 Tender Overview
Fluor Corporation announced that it was awarded a front-end engineering and design FEED contract for California Resources Corporations 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.Fluors commitment to helping clients achieve their clean energy goals continues with this recent award from CRC said Mark Fields group president of Fluors Energy Chemicals business. We are honored to be selected by CRC to help them design and permit Californias first carbon capture and sequestration system.Fluors scope of work is as the licensor providing engineering services for the plants licensed process unit and required utility systems using its proprietary Econamine FG PlusSM carbon capture technology which is an energy-efficient and cost-effective process for the removal of carbondioxide from flue gas streams. The process will incorporate Fluors advanced solvent formulation together with a number of patented energy savings features. 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.CRC has four 2030 sustainability goals that align with those of the State of California. Our carbon goal is to design and permit a carbon dioxide CO2 capture and storage system the Cal Capture project at our Elk Hills Power Plant with associated CO2 injection for enhanced recovery and sequestration at the adjacent Elk Hills oil field said Shawn Kerns CRC executive vice president of Operations and Engineering. The Cal Capture project offers multiple benefits including substantial emissions reductions substantial positive economic impacts across the California economy and the development of a key technology needed worldwide to meet future energy transition targets.
