GE’s CO2 compressor & pump integrated system can be utilized in carbon dioxide storage and in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. Compared to standalone compressors typically in use today, this system can reduce the energy required to compress and inject carbon dioxide underground, lowering the operator’s costs as well as the associated CO2 emissions from electricity use.

Environmental Benefits
GE's CO2 compressor & pump integrated system can operate more efficiently than a traditional compressor train in carbon storage applications. When used to compress and inject CO2 for carbon storage, the CO2 compressor & pump integrated system can reduce the operator's annual electricity consumption by approximately 6% compared to using a traditional compressor train. At flow rate of 60,000 m3/hr, this can reduce the operator's annual electricity consumption by 6,000 MWh, avoiding 3,800 metric tons of CO2 emissions on the EU electric grid annually. This is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 1,900 cars on European roads. GE's CO2 compressor & pump integrated system can operate more efficiently than a traditional compressor train in enhanced oil recovery applications. When used to compress and inject CO2 for enhanced oil recovery, the CO2 compressor & pump integrated system can reduce the operator's annual electricity consumption by approximately 16% compared to using a traditional compressor train. At a flow rate of 60,000 m3/hr, this can reduce the operator's annual electricity consumption by 15,000 MWh compared to using a separate compressor and pump, avoiding 9,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions on the EU electric grid annually. This is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 4,700 cars on European roads.
