Background
In May 2025, carbon capture technology company 8 Rivers Capital announced they had contracted with the Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) to undertake a technical feasibility study on a proposed coal plant at either the Navajo Coal Mine or another existing NTEC mine in the Powder River Basin. The reportedly “ultra-low-carbon” coal plant would have a capacity of up to 1,000 MW and use 8 Rivers’ proprietary “Allam-Fetvedt Cycle (AFC) power cycle technology” that allegedly produces only “liquid water and pipeline-ready CO2.” The feasibility study was also expected to assess CO2 transport and storage options, including geological storage and use in enhanced oil recovery.[2][3]
Under the agreement, NTEC would supply coal and operate the power station, and 8 Rivers would partner with Siemens Energy to lead technology and development.[2][3]
