In the image above, DOE and NETL representatives, from left, Andrew Hlasko, Zachary Roberts, Dan Hancu, Krista Hill, Andrew Jones, José Figueroa and Nicole Shamitko-Klingensmith visited Electricore in Fountain Valley, California, to discuss a project to capture CO2 from the air using a novel solid sorbent laminate filter technology. The group received a tour of the test plant and a project status update.
NETL representatives recently attended a groundbreaking ceremony at the City Water, Light and Power (CWLP) plant in Springfield, Illinois, to celebrate the advancement of a large pilot carbon dioxide (CO2) capture project made possible with funding and project management support from the Lab.
When your research team’s focus is to develop the next generation of advanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture concepts to achieve the goal of a carbon-pollution-free power sector by 2035, a visit to a renowned facility where colleagues have completed more than 129,000 hours of technology testing is like a trip to a carbon capture hall of fame.
After visiting several project sites in conjunction with NETL partner organizations in Kentucky, the U.S. Department of Energy and the Lab’s Point Source Carbon Capture Team gained valuable perspective to enhance their work on future carbon capture projects.
