(PDF format, 143 KB). Contains a process description, mass and energy balances and thermal efficiencies .
  • (Paper on the IPFC process, HCEP-10-03.pdf),"A Highly Efficient Combined Cycle Fossil and Biomass Fuel Power Generation and Hydrogen Production Plant with Zero CO2 Emission," Meyer Steinberg, HCE LLC, October 2003. (PDF format, 143 KB). Contains tables showing composition and thermodynamics of various feedstocks, enthalpy and efficiency of unit reactions, thermal efficiency evaluation and CO2 emission, energy and thermal efficiency distribution and two flow sheets.
  • (Paper on the IPFC process, HCEI-12-03.pdf),"A Highly Efficient Combined Cycle Fossil and Biomass Fuel Power Generation and Hydrogen Production Plant with Zero CO2 Emission," Meyer Steinberg, HCE LLC, December 2003. (PDF format, 143 KB). Preliminary economic analysis and comparison with various conventional power cycles indicated that IPFC can produce electric power and hydrogen at significantly lower cost than conventional steam and combined cycle plants especially when coproducing both power and hydrogen.
