LoadDurationCurveandCarbonDispatchofaTypicalCoal-BasedUtility The smart grid can provide reductions in primary energy and CO2 emissions by shifting peak load to more efficient lower emission base and intermediate generation resources. Load shifting enabled by a smart grid can shift electricity production from less efficient peak load generating resources (less than 30%) to more efficient intermediate resources (~40%) that have lower carbon emissions per unit of energy supplied. In cases where the load is shifted to base-load power plants that are not coal-fired, even greater carbon savings can be realized. Utility programs have shown that shifting load from peak load generating power plants to more efficient off-peak-load power plants provides such reductions: the California “Shift & Save” quantifies the reduced CO2 emissions at between 10% and 20%. The carbon footprint of base-load generation is likely to be reduced in the future as more renewable and clean-coal- fired power plants enter the system to join nuclear and natural-gas-fired power plants to displace current coal-fired power plants. The estimation of energy and carbon benefits achievable by load shifting is challenging because of the highly dynamic nature of the power plant dispatch options that provide literally thousands of options for re-arranging the generation mix, and the corresponding generating efficiency and carbon intensity of the input fuel. To estimate the potential reductions, a simplified analysis was conducted using load duration curves for each of 12 North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) sub-regions. Sufficient load was shifted from high demand hours to provide a 10% reduction in peak load in each sub- region, or in the amount of capacity of natural-gas-fired CTs in each sub-region, whichever is less. On average, this involved shifting load for 168 hours per year. 3.23 Carbon Intensity (lb-CO2 /kWh) Load (MW)

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
