Allam Cycle

A process for converting fossil fuels into mechanical power, while capturing all the generated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water. In the Allam cycle, natural gas is used as fuel along with pure oxygen, instead of air, thereby eliminating emissions of nitrogen oxides. While a portion of emitted CO₂ is recirculated in the system, the excess CO₂ is extracted for other industrial uses. This cycle results in high-efficiency power generation that inherently produces a pipeline-quality CO₂ byproduct at no additional effect to the system’s performance.
