DOE awarding ~$44M to seven carbon capture projects

Green Car Congress

(EPRI) will produce an engineering design and cost estimate of a membrane-based post-combustion CO 2 capture system on Duke Energy’s East Bend Station in Kentucky. The project team will create a model that replicates the station’s performance and will be used to estimate the impacts of retrofitting CO2 capture to the plant.
