DoE approves $50m for carbon capture technology to be tested in coal-rich ‘Carbon Valley’ Coal mining in Wyoming. (Image courtesy of the ITC). The Department of Energy of the United States approved $51 million for the continuation of Membrane Technology and Research’s Phase III studies of a large-scale pilot carbon capture project to be hosted at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC). The ITC is a carbon capture, utilization and storage testing facility located in the coal-rich “Carbon Valley” where 5% of the exhaust gas from the Dry Fork coal-fired plant goes into a manifold system, providing ‘plug and play’ access for researchers. ....
DOE recently announced it has awarded $99 million to two projects for Phase III of their Demonstration of Large-Scale Pilot Carbon Capture Technologies funding opportunity. Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) was awarded $51,699,939 from DOE, and with additional non-federal funding, this project will bring over $64 million in research dollars into Wyoming. “I am delighted that Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) has been selected to move forward in this process, and that Wyoming has been chosen to host this important demonstration of cutting edge carbon capture technology,” Governor Mark Gordon said. “This is exactly the type of research that was envisioned when the ITC was developed and Wyoming will continue to support these efforts.” ....
Captured carbon dioxide could one day fuel an $800 billion industry It sounds like science fiction, but for a select few, capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy production emissions to create viable and economical carbon products is a hard-won reality that could breathe new life into the Powder River Basin and other coal communities. In the five years following the 2015 commencement of the International Carbon X Prize competition, and its conclusion in 2020, where ten teams from five countries strove to identify new economical uses for captured carbon in the hopes of claiming one of two $7.5 million grand prizes, researchers and industry leaders have discovered how to utilize carbon in ways previously unimaginable. ....
