The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is working with TC Energy to study carbon capture technology to reduce emissions at TVA’s natural gas facilities in Ackerman, Mississippi and in Drakesboro, Kentucky.
Carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) is proposed and explored as one of the pathway scenarios to “net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050” in TVA's Valley Pathways Study, conducted in cooperation with The Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs. CCUS also has been chosen in TVA’s Carbon Report to be tried out in practice as one of the innovative energy technology ‘carbon levers’ (actions for deeper carbon reduction).
TC Energy’s carbon capture approach works by sending the exhaust from natural gas power facilities to a carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber adjacent to the plant. A chemical reaction absorbs the CO2 before the exhaust is released into the air. The absorbent is then pumped to another vessel and treated with heat that releases the CO2. This released CO2 is then compressed and sent deep into the earth for safe storage.
