An advanced solvent for post-combustion carbon capture developed through a partnership involving the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and Honeywell is set for engineering-scale testing in October at the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM), the world’s largest carbon capture test facility located in western Norway.
The US Supreme Court has denied requests from electric utility trade groups for an emergency stay of a final Environmental Protection Agency rule requiring 90% carbon capture at existing coal-fired power plants and new gas-fired generators by 2032. This decision means that affected power generators will not need to start compliance work until June 2025, giving them time before the regulations take effect.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), with DOE’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), today announced more than $58.5 million in federal funding for 11 projects to help develop a commercially viable carbon dioxide removal industry in the United States.
