Abstract

A system includes an inlet pipe, a pressure control valve, a flow-through electric generator, and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to a carbon dioxide pipeline that flows carbon dioxide. The pressure control valve is installed on the inlet pipe and is configured to reduce a pressure of the carbon dioxide to a specified pressure. The flow-through electric generator includes a turbine wheel, a rotor, and a stator. The turbine wheel is configured to rotate in response to expansion of the carbon dioxide flowing into an inlet of the turbine wheel and out of an outlet of the turbine wheel. The flow-through electric generator is configured to generate electrical power upon rotation of the rotor within the stator. The outlet pipe is configured to receive the carbon dioxide that has expanded through the flow-through electric generator and flow the carbon dioxide to a carbon dioxide pipeline network.
