Subtitle F of title IX of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16291 et seq.) is further amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary shall carry out a program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application of technologies that represent a significant change in the methods used to generate electricity from fuels and that will enable a step change in performance, efficiency, and cost of electricity, and that reduce emissions from fossil fuel power generation in the following areas:
High-efficiency turbines for any advanced power system that will lead to natural gas turbine combined cycle efficiency of 67 percent or combustion turbine efficiency of 50 percent. Supercritical carbon dioxide, with an emphasis on developing directly fired and indirectly fired cycles in the next 10 years. Advanced combustion systems, including oxy-combustion systems and chemical looping. Gasification systems to enable carbon capture, improve efficiency, and reduce capital and operating costs.
Thermal cycling with ramping or rapid black start capabilities that do not compromise efficiency or environmental performance. Small-scale and modular technologies with reduced carbon outputs or carbon capture that can support incremental power generation capacity needs. Turbines and other technology for the use of hydrogen and ammonia generated from fossil fuels for power generation. In carrying out the program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall give priority to potentially transformational technologies that would enable very substantial improvements in performance, efficiency, or cost of electricity as compared to the technology in existence on the date of enactment of this section.
For activities under this section, there are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary $1,275,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2025. .
