DOE selects 2 projects to demonstrate feasibility of enhanced water recovery; producing usable water from CO2 storage sites

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected two projects that will test emerging enhanced water recovery (EWR) technologies for their potential to produce useable water from CO 2 storage sites. Once treated, the clean water could be re-used for beneficial purposes, including supplemental cooling water at a power station.

New high-pressure dry-solids feed pump could make high-efficiency, lower-emission gasification economically competitive

Green Car Congress

If successful, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne will make the pump available to industry for commercial use. However, capital and operational costs have prohibited the widespread adoption of gasification, especially for power production—a major source of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions.
