Nalco Carbon Project Selected for New Department of Energy Advanced Research Funding

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

A project that uses an electrochemical process to capture a key greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), from coal-fired power plants is among 37 "transformational" projects to be funded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

The objective of this carbon capture program is to meet DOE goals of removing as much as 90% of the CO2 from a power plant's flue gas while using less energy and at a lower cost than current technology. The carbon captured could then be used for a variety of potential uses including algae growth for enhanced biofuels production or for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery. It will build on an existing research partnership between Nalco and Argonne to develop advanced
technologies to reduce, reuse and recover power plant cooling water.
